This seems to be another of those specials that really could have once been anything.
I'd say its origins were a mid-1930s british saloon car, and the Magna wheels suggest a Morris 10 or 12.
The steering wheel looks more Riley/Triumph/Standard than Morris, but it isn't clear enough
The registration number is from the 1950s which is when this thing was built, I suppose.

This car is a special, built on an a pre-WWII chassis.

Appears to be one of the Kitcher Specials, built by Rowley Kitcher on Rover 10 and 12 chassis.

While the original Rover is a fine looking car, the Kitcher is much lower, and the Aluminum body panels make it much lighter.
