    Another hint: It is a special (made in a very small series) of a well known model made by a major French manufacturer.

    What a lovely photo and a treasured one I'm sure. Little wonder if your interest in cars was inherited.. Yes indeed, a Jowett Jupiter with Adams and Robinson coach work. Back to you for the next candidate.

    You are right that it is not British.

    Not a DKW either, but size-wise I think they are very similar.

    Sadly no, and thank you for not posting it. I just threw up in my mouth a little.
    Save that for future play, my friend. (edit out all but model name) :D

    Is it a Ghia-Aigle Sonnet I?

    Hi Is, only pretty JJ I've EVER seen.

    Not by Ghia-Aigle (and I had no idea there ever was a Sonnet I by them!)

    Major manufacturing country, so not "obscure" in that sense. Britain and Germany have already been ruled out :), so basically Italy and France left...

    Getting (very) close! Some of the cars were Panhard-powered (I think the one in the photo is Renault 4CV-powered, though...), but coachwork is actually also French.
