There are apparently two surviving steel bodied export (Spanish) cars from around this time - 'Conchita' the coupe, and the low roofed RK.

I wonder how were these made?  By 1930, were panels on the aluminium cars still formed by hand, or with presses? 

The photos of the ebay car seem to suggest the body is aluminium, from where the paint is missing, though there is some rust on the back panel on the right?
