..Not Austin 7-based but I don't know if it is a Stiletto body or not; it's possible it might be, but that's not actually part of the question (since I don't know the answer!)

MG TA base ?

Can't be beaten by the Man from Gitche Gumee - is it one of the 1937 TA models bodied by Peel ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Anyone care to be a bit more specific about exactly which MG M-type this is based on and who the builder was, before I move it to the Black Hole?

Your use of words suggests that this is a specific car, perhaps famous in sport at one point. Is it a former "Cream Cracker" car?

It's not based on any specific car that I know of but on a model of which a few were made.

Is it a supercharged M-type from 1932?

An M type is an M type apart from the body and that's been thrown away.
If we are supposed to guess what original body it once had, and you say only a few were made, I bid the Double 12 Replica.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

That's right, the original body was thrown away much to the builder's later regret..
Not a Double 12 Replica.

What about one of the M-types that were entered in the Le Mans 24 hours race in 1930?

But is it the body style we are supposed to find or have you found something mechanical that I can't see either.  It's over 55 years since I had one and happily the memory of it is fading at last.
Nothing in the rear view is M type except perhaps the wheels, and it seems to have knock-on wheels which Ms normally did not.
