I don't know if this car has a name or not, so for the point describe what it is and what is its base?

ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS GLEANED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE WILL BE BANNED FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD!

Don't know why, but it makes me think there is something to do with Mini in there... Is it Mini based?

looks like a pre-war car under that lot.

Seems to have huge brake drums which would make it 1920s / 30s

You're right - it's from the 1930's.
Don't actually know which year specifically.

Well looking at the base I guess it is probably a british base car?

OK so we are looking at a base british car from the 30's. Judging by the size of the brakes it is most likely a sports car.

Let's start the guessing with - Jaguar?

Sorry Ray - this was another one that didn't show up as a 'New' reply on my computer so I didn't see it.
It's not a Lea-Francis anyway, no..!

It's time to move up to the Pro's now...
