Sebastien Simon: "I would like to propose the appended photo as a mystery car and coachbuilder. Personally, I have an idea what it could be, after having done a bit of research, but on the Lancia Motor Club website I was pretty alone with my views. To me it is not a Lancia... Here is the initial post, by Neil Cundy who was contacted by a Jonathan Borchard who's Grandmother was fortunate enough to have this as a wedding car:
I am a member of the Singer Owners Club and own several pre-war Singers. When I was showing one of my cars at the NEC show a couple of years ago I was speaking to someone on the Lancia stand as I have the attached photo of my Grandmother and it was taken at her wedding in Berlin around 1930. I have always been told it was a Lancia but as I knowing nothing about Lancias of this age I have always wondered what it was. Do you recognise it and could you possibly let me have some information on the car?
Jonathan also believes they bought it back to London in 1933, so it was at least for a time, resident in the UK. That car is pretty exceptional, and the bodybuilder is also interesting, in my opinion. And finally the couple is also nice..."
