Austin 7 based (the easy bit!), but not 1934 and not by Jarvis.

Is that bodywork post-WW2? It looks glassfibre to me.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

It is indeed a quite recent glass fibre body!

It's a 1937 Austin 7, called Gould Imp No.1. It was designed and built by Chris Gould. Except, I can't find when the body was built.

Yes, that's right.
I don't know exactly when this body was fitted but it's very recently.  Chris Gould's company currently makes glass fibre bodies like this that you can buy off the shelf to fit your Austin 7 restoration into, so this car has probably only worn this body for 2 or 3 years at most.

1 point for you and bad luck D-Type!
