I really love all this stuff. Top thread.

Also I can vouch for the Louwman being worth a visit.

Good one innit? And what a building.

Give me a shout when one or two of you are in NL: run & meet!

I see what you did there.

Edit: A bit of searching with Google Image Search suggests it's actually based on a Fiat too, ironically.

A little early at 1925 but one of my favourites, the Roller round door

Although re-bodied in 1935 by De Jonckheere so bang on.

I see what you mean about the bickering.

Many of us know about the Embiricos Bentleys however it was only recently when I got into the mark that I found out about a very similar V12 powered Lagonda. Less famous but none the less stylish, perhaps even more so for having a V12 engine and being mostly unknown.
