So...
No to 1930's
No to Aston Martin.
Extra clue for you......
Built after the war (1945) and a picture clue as well.
I expect the answers to flood in now!

Going to need a bit more...

Stirling Moss drove a prototype around Goodwood.
UK car
Built late 50's
Named with speed in mind

Would you call it "Michael"?

No more clues till this evening now.....

St Thomas · 1st May 2008, 17:53

Slightly

that no guesses at all.

If there is a SENSIBLE guess I will try and find you another clue, or if you ask a question I will (try to) answer YES/NO/Blank/UNSURE.
EG. Is it a UK car..YES
Was it built in 1945...NO
Was it built in the 50's...YES
What size engine has it got....Blank...
Has it got a V8 engine...NO
Did it come in yellow?....UNSURE

etc

St Thomas · 1st May 2008, 18:17

Berkeley Bonneville springs to mind, but i thought that model didn't have exposed door hinges.

alanwalne · 1st May 2008, 18:48

Do BMW now own the rights to the name?

alanwalne · 1st May 2008, 18:50

Struggling with old British names here.

is it an Alvis?

Jack The Lad. · 1st May 2008, 19:21

Michael ?????
Anything to do with Mike Hawthorn.

St Thomas · 1st May 2008, 20:02

No sorry. Rather a poor link really but No connection with Mike

No, not an Alvis. MUCH more down market.... MUCH!!!

St Thomas · 1st May 2008, 20:05

Defo on the right lines....
Speed is the clue and no ticket for it on the M6 Preston by-pass
