Tough to crack car puzzle #184
We’d like to know from you what the car in this lovely picture is named in the first place. We think we know what this coachbuilt beauty is, but must admit we are not completely totally utterly sure. So please regale us with your information as we love to be educated by you folks.
Furthermore, there’s the person. We believe that the car seen parked here was his personal motor as we found some more photographs of him sitting in it - although it is painted in a different and clearly darker hue there. The scene could well be that of a coachbuilder, too... Again, we’re not sure but please feel free to let us know that, too. He must have been a bit of a character with a soft spot for cars, or so it seems. Know all about car and man? Then do let us know. Oh, and please be careful if you happen to travel Transylvania today… Enjoy the weekend.

The dog is a harlequin Great Dane, not a Dalmatian.

Many thanks for correcting me. I'm better at identifying cars!
That's a breed of dog I haven't come across.
