The options might be, AC, Alvis, Jensen, or one of the low volume makes like Railton (unlikely) Batten, or Allard (but the front suspension looks wrong). The twerp with the silly hat obscuring the dashboard doesn’t help, but the thumb doesn’t either. My money is on a mid 30s AC, swoopy scuttle looks favourite. -- Last edit: 2019-12-19 09:32:55

Good identification jfs and good find and confirmation, dsl! -- Last edit: 2019-12-20 16:47:50
