Try this one, no obscure continental manufacturer, I promise!

Triumph

love the style and mother-in-law seat

[Nereus]

It's a French company that produced a couple of hundred cars a year between the early 1920's and the 1950's.

Just as a matter of general interest:

Not sure about the "driver" with his cycle helmet, or is that you Steve G?

[STEVE G]

...or is that you Steve G?

I was the other side of the camera!
Yes, it's a Triumph Bristolian, model?

[Bristolian]

Its a Roadster but not sure if it's the 1800 or 2000

[Bristolian]

I have seen a few around at shows in the UK but I also remember it from Bergerac

[STEVE G]

Yes, it's a 1946 1800 Roadster, well done.
I'll find something else tomorrow; I took quite a few pictures but many of them are either too easy, there were three immaculate E-types, or completely unknown to the English speaking world like the Irat!

Not a Challenge

When I was a young child, our next door neighbour had a Triumph and was a member of a Triumph owner's club There were always nice cars around on the weekends. This particular car, The Mayflower, was never very popular. The straight lines were a bit radicle for those days

[Nereus]

Something small to go on with! It is a factory car, not aftermarket.

Looks like one of those Russian limos used by the Kremlin in the 80's - a ZIL?

That was my initial thoughts also........ but 8 doors? I would guess that it's American but which manufacturer? I do not recognise the badge

Is it anything to do with the Thai Royal family? I've seen a shorter car of that style and colour at the Palace before.

I’m thinking completely in the opposite direction. It has 8 doors so probably carries 10-12 people. Not the sort of vehicle a royal family would use. Could it be a hotel or airport limo?
