Anyone recognise what this car is?

[Muddle238]

Spotted in West London today. On the face of it, appears to be vintage however the wheels look a little small, I reckon it's a replica built on modern underpinnings.

Anybody know more?

Brenchley landaulette.

Which might be that bloke in Sherlock.

The Ant Hill Mob are in town.

Cheers, found similar on google registered in the 90s. Was right about the modern underpinnings!

Their website reckons they all have BMW 3-series underpinnings. How come they have silver-on-black registration plates?

Ducks...........

Rear wheel drive then is period-correct, I believe?

To a non-car person, they look authentic enough to be 1920/30's, I guess whoever chose the black and silver plate is hoping the BiB aren't experts on vintage cars and modern replicas....

Brenchley landaulette? YES! Never heard of them before, but after checking out the windows, it's identical to the Google images I just saw.
Beaufords are a giveaway - check out the (original) Mini tub and doors, especially visible on the 2-door versions.

Makes no difference, a friend has the same basic car but as a two door pick-up. runs black & white plates & has had no problems in ten years - and it's reg is A###XXX, so not even trying to hide it!

Only the early Beaufords used a mini tub. The later ones used a grp tub in a different shape, although they did retain the mini doors on the 2 door versions. The 4 door Beauford was released later again.
