Regarding the smallness of the rear window, doesn't one of the SVW tourers or drop head coupes have very small windows in their hoods?

If you think that rear window is inadequate, here's the first (1946) prototype of the rear-engined Wimille. Only one seat, with the driver in the middle and a passenger on each side. Note also the total absence of wing mirrors!





Subsequent versions had rather better rear vision, but it never reached production - not least because its eponymous progenitor was killed in a race in early 1949. The project died shortly afterwards.

Are you sure there isn't a rear gunner in the back?

I think the radiator picture on top right also looks very SS Jaguar?

Any chance the Jaguar people come up with the truth yet?

Definitely a SS100 with the P100 headlights. The SS90 had the smaller headlightsand the sidevalve engine. The 100 had the ohv 2.5 or 3.5 ltr engine
