There's not much written in Practical Classics about this car, one very small photo (different to yours) and no reference to Opperman.

I have found it on the internet too, on a photography website, six good photos (again different) but not much information about it.
Is it possible to have the link? Even via PM.
If the source is ..sensible.. don't worry, I'll try to find it.

A car for her?

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

1953 Waggonbau Bautzen Microcar?

Neither Frisky nor Waggonbau Bautzen

Although it might look like the Opperman Unicar (and it seems to use the same bodywork), this is a different car, not just one carrying a different name.

It's not the T.E.L. Electric Car (again!) is it?

Well, it is. I couldn't find it by searching this site.
Tell me what T.E.L. stands for and the point is yours.
Locked for you!

Thanks but I'm afraid I don't know.  Something like Thompson Electric Ltd probably!
I don't really deserve a point anyway as it's a re-post (but they didn't know what T.E.L. stood for then either...):

You are almost there: it is Txxxxxxx Electric Ltd.

I'd suggest I'll award a point to whoever finds the company name. After that we should merge these two puzzles.
One more try for you, after which I will unlock if wrong.

Unfortunately I haven't found any mention of the full name anywhere.
I can tell you the car was registered 32 EKR, which was a Kent issue from February 1959 (Folkestone is, of course, in Kent).
I can tell you the name of the lady in your puzzle car picture (Pamela Taylor) who was 23 when the picture was taken.
But other than that there seems to be nothing out there.
I'll have a guess at Taylor Electric Ltd., simply on the off-chance that there was a family connection with the girl in the photo - I think her father-in-law was Fred Taylor, who worked for an electrical company named Gilbert in Folkestone who did actually make some small electrical commercial vehicles.
If I'm wrong then you'll have to open it up.

You certainly know more about that car than I do.  :D
The company's name was: T _ a _ _ _ o _  Electric Ltd.
