I have no idea what it is. But, it's interesting. Looking forward to learning more.

Looks Limeland or European to me, also looks to be quite small, maybe the size of a Donkervoort.

Something about the upper part of the background looks PhotoShop to me...line of sharply focused roof and hood-edge, fuzzy background not quite consistent with what I'm used to seeing as a function on depth-of-field effects. Something about the nose and headlights looks off, too.

Actually, the more I look at it, the more the whole thing looks to me like a PS construct.

It has British plates...

[Ace-Garageguy]

I googled the tag...British indeed. Apparently a loosely Austin 7-based special.

'39 Austin 7...

...with a grill-shell from a '37 Austin 7 Ulster...

But, what is it? And is it real? The more I look at the photo now, the more doubts I'm beginning to have too.

Okay as I was posting the above, Bill dropped in the second photo. That one convinces me it's real. And I bet by looking at the lower photos, it is a modified Austin.

Except for the goofy wheels, I Iike it! Everything looks better on American Torq-Thrusts!

Or Wagon Wheels

Vintage Lotus 7?

Jaguar SS.

Bills "a loosely Austin 7-based special" probably hits the mark.

Looking at it today, what comes to mind is, look at this Hot Rod made somewhere other than the US and with parts available locally.

Looks like it's built on a Catarham Seven chassis.

At first I thought it was based on a Citroen 15 CV.
