I didn't know about this, it looks good! Before quoting I'd have guessed at a coachbuilt Morgan.

For next time, edit the file name

Thanks.

Googling it I think you're right. It seems to have had a side marker light fitted, maybe for the US market, a non-standard wing mirror and an aftermarket hardtop but it does look like an Appia Vignale Convertible.

Edit - actually, I think it's an Appia Pininfarina Coupe

It's the Pininfarina designed coupé, isn't it?
