Hi, Standard or Calcott. Body not like Calcott. Taper of the top of the bonnet behind the rad cap is bit Minerva-like and very much Standard Nine of cca 1927 but that had horizontal louvers ?? This has vertical louvers. Then found it being a 1928 sports 2-seater.  Regards Vintman

A very circuitous way of solving the puzzle! Yes, it's a 1928 Standard 9 Light Sports Roadster. I think in this photo it's taking part in one of those reliabilty trials that used to be held on the perimeter roads at Brooklands.
