A Drophead Polka Dot Mystery ( update: 1936 Hanomag Rekord Cabriolet?)

• 

She comes out with a cheeky smile to the observer, well to the photographer.  We found the scene at a marketplace where nobody wanted her as the car is both unknown and only part visible. We have a slightly different view on things. We have a soft spot for polka dots and unidentified cars. Maybe you can help us with the last bit. No matter the british appearance of the car it is a photo shot probably in Belgium or Holland. For that the left hand steering is a give away. Not the absense of a navi device but the presence of a well used roadmap in the doorpocket. The door itself is not particularly flimsy which may be a sign for an upmarket machine. The bonnet is showing a vent door and no louvres. And what about the twin wiper operation, the well formed seats and the nice top bows. The hubcaps point to the last pre-war years. The rear bumper and oversized tail light may offer a last straw for identification.  We're looking forward to hear your comments. Maybe you can even tell us more about the silver(?) brooch the lady is wearing and about the runaway 'polka dot' on the right seat. Or is it a golf ball?
