I'm sorry, but i have two questions this time.

Who knows Childs&Hammersmith of London, active surely before the WWI?

Is Paul Nee a british coachbuilder?

I can't find anything on them, maybe i haven't the proper books...
Thanks a lot.

Thank you guys !
I looked also for Childs and Child's in Hammersmith, London.

Franck, do you know Paul Nee made some Lancias?

Paul Nee built Lancia Convertibles.
There's only a Bugatti by him in the Gallery: http://www.coachbuild.com/index.php?opt ... emId=30118

Thank you Michiel.
The fact is this Belna was probably built by Nee, but this is controversial.

The other car is a 1914 WNF Childs&Hammersmith Lancia Theta, certified by the commission board of Villa d'Este in 2006, but i didn't find any evidence of these coachwork in London.
They aren't even on the British carriage manufacturers list.
