Only a brief glimpse, but looked interesting enough to get a punt. Footage might be 1957 Suez crisis petrol shortage, but car looks 1930s??

Not identical, but I’ve seen enough Riley specials circulating around Silverstone to suggest this might be one, although the exhaust is a bit low, it is at least on the correct side.

Slight correction - footage is when petrol was taken off-ration (May 1950) so freely available.
