If you compare the height against the musicians, it looks more like Baby Austin. It has rhd as well, but is not an easily recognisable type.

Have checked some BMW Dixi Roadsters but couldn't find one with those wings.
So go with John, than.

Any possibility of Rosengart version of baby Austin?? I think early Rosengarts were RHD??

The Rosengart had a ribbon style radiator with inset flat areas top and bottom,

so not at all like the subject vehicle. However, the badge on the subject car does not look the right shape for Austin wings.

I think that this leaves two options open:

1. It’s one of the first 100 Rosengarts made from Austin parts.
2. It’s a BMW Dixi 3/15ps.

Plus a wild card, somebody has done quite a neat job of updating a Nippy, maybe using parts from an American Austin.
