Spohn yes, anyone care to guess the year and the maker of the base vehicle?

The one on chasing classic cars was 1949. I thought Spohn was the "coach builder"

Re: Practically Classics versus Retro Rides
How come I didn't see your photos before, Terry? 
Anyway, yes, it's actually very similar to the car seen in the top one of the images you posted and 1949 is the year, so which quality brand lies beneath that Shamrock-like add on tat?

Re: Practically Classics versus Retro Rides
So, they are much like any other BMW (IMHO): hideous!!
Re: Practically Classics versus Retro Rides
Clearly that was too easy. Either that or Terry's spotting talent is far bigger than most. I suspect the latter. 
Yes, BMW of course and possibly one of the fugliest things in the world - apart from a Ssang Yyong Rhododendron.

Re: Practically Classics versus Retro Rides
Those wings are very distinctive. Let's face it, when you see something that hideous it does tend to stick in your mind.
