Nice detailing in places, eg the door window surrounds, and the flush door handles.

I wondered if it was one of Eric Neal's A40 sports prototypes?

Probably too ugly though.

GOT IT!

It's a Rosengart Ariette cabriolet. 1952 -3 It would have originally been powered by (a version of) the Austin Seven engine.

Interesting history on line.

This model is a little rough around the edges but the body looks quite good for its age.

Looks like it could do with servicing, mate.
