I'm struggling to think of another low volume sports/racing car maker.  Was the manufacturer better known for trials cars than cars for circuit racing?

More for cars used for circuit racing although they also produced cars for road use, trialling, etc.

Frazer Nash?   
No, you said the car isn't very refined.

A Buckler?

Yes it's a Buckler!
I'm going to give you a point for that and offer another point for the builder/owner of this car.

It could be anything - you bought a Buckler frame, fitted the engine of your choice, and bought a body from them or someone else or made your own.  Then you named your creation whatever you wanted. 

The Canary Special?

It's not the Canary Special.....

What you say is true of course, one of numerous specials based on various chassis.

This one is named xxx-Buckler.

Anyway, thanks for your input Duncan and I'm now moving this one up to the Pros

Is it the Salmson-Buckler ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Not the Salmson-Buckler.

The three xxx's are the the initials of the builder/owner.....

The MGW had an all-enveloping body , so that leaves the BBS. (You could have left the reg plate in the photo !)

Yes, sorry to be a spoilsport!

However, it's not the BBS (or MGW).
I'll check the register to see if it's listed - my photo comes from a well-known mag of the time.

There is also the JND Buckler, built in 1952 by J.N. Dobbs and fitted with an 1172cc Ford E93A engine
Opinionated but sometimes wrong
