The red ball.
A road racer, German Reg', Italian red, so how about French!
A lot of road race cars in that era were RHD.
But that grill, me thinks it's German - Maybach.

OK two guesses down so going back to original thoughts, the red is definately Italian.
Don't think it is a major manufacturer but a design house jobbie. Only car that immediately comes to mind would be the Abarth.
Although, if main manufacturer, it could be Lancia. I'm guessing here.....Tipo, but that is far as I can find out.
Wiki was useless, Google not much better.

Odd one this. It could even be a Ferrari. The grill does look a bit like a later Lancia or a Routemaster bus, but the MGA styling and steel wheels suggest its too agricultural to be Italian. If its not british it could be yank, but Briggs Cunningham was doing something different

Now back with a red one, just remember it has been over those speed bumps up here (or it could be those clobble streets we have up north)
What can you tell me about this one.
