    One off Facel Vega... I say so because of the wheels and because it just looks "French"..

    Not Facel Vega and not French. Wheels are of the same brand fitted to many a Facel Vega, yet they were in no way exclusive to that car and were not French in origin.

    TR3 in the backdrop, is it a Brit ? Another weird Morgan contraption ?

    Good eye! It's a Brit, but not Morgan.

    Doesn't ring a bell yet. I first looked at Gilbern and today was trying to learn more about Peerless/Warwick prototypes but couldn't find anything with Tatra-like rear window.

    Unlike Gilbern or Peerless/Warwick, this one is a very well-known brand.

    Original bodywork by Panelcraft.
    Later scrapped when the car was turned into an open DB3S in the 1990s....

    I'll give someone else a chance to solve, but here's another pic to make it easier ;):

    Fascinating story about that DB3S Coupe, I have to admit that I never saw it before.

    Yes, that picture should make it significantly easier to identify :)

    Damn, I knew the flank looked Astony, but the tail reminded me of a '+' something. Good find. Now on to the Fiat Packard ;)

    Okay, I stepped in it and likely ruined it for everyone, so I'll just go ahead and solve: Moretti coupe based on Fiat 1500 chassis.

    Here's the next one:

    That's right Wayne; it's a Moretti coupe, but this one is presumably based on a 2100 Fiat (your pic is of a 1500 though...). Almost identical as far as I can tell.

    I've seen both chassis - 1500 and 2100 - attributed to this little car, but I believe that 1500 is correct. For comparison, here's an image of the very similar (but larger) coupe by Moretti based on the 2100 chassis:

    Ah, I see you edited this post and I think you're correct. The museum car does look like it's the 2100 chassis car.

    I might take a trip down to that museum in Odense, Denmark, someday and check it out :)

    That wraparound windshield is probably the key cue, but it is giving me a headache!

    No, I wasn't :) - it's the rear window that is wraparound...
