Earlier we presented a found photo of this fine H6B in January 2009. Now a full collection of photos regarding this same car has come to light. Ashely Hollebone - well known in this community - found them and likes to get in touch with the current owner in order to hand over the photos. The owner can contact him through office@prewarcar.com

A recent photofind by Mike Dunn of the US is this Hispano Suiza H6B. We wonder if this RHD is still around.
The atmosphere of the photo is UK-ish, the sidelights add to that feeling. We are not sure if the flag stand between the headlights is showing a Union Jack. Furthermore we are interested in the coachwork with a fine wooden trim all around. Now if you zoom in even further, you will find two kids who definitely didn't want to be in the photo but were caught by the camera (click). If you know of the whereabouts of this car, please contact usUPDATE III by Editor. We understand this H6B was auctioned by Bonhams during the 2007 Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2007 at GBP 140,000.UPDATE II by Hans Veenenbos:"...this is for sure a Kellner. The car bodied by Duvivier I know very well, Manfred Dolleschel ownes one."
UPDATE by Joao from Brasil and Hans 'hisso' Veenenbos. Joao says: (while showiong a contemporary photo)"I think that the hispano-suiza picture it´s this 1921 H6B torpedo made by Duvivier,both have a lot of in common pieces like de rear windshield...if it´s the car he survived!" Hans Veenenbos has a slightly different opinion:" I am quite sure this is the 1923 H6B chassis #10525 with Kellner body. The car was sold per auction 2 years back in the UK but I do not know hwo is the new owner. The UK registration is MB 2037. Point of recognition are the wooden trim, the non-nickeled window frame, etc. "
