I am not in any way trying to interfere with Cuda here, but the man's costume/manner of dress and the badges on the front of the car are very typical of Sweden or Norway in that era.  I could find nothing but maybe
Cuda or someone else can if my idea is valid.

Even though it is left hand drive, might this be the product of a British coachbuilder?

My congratulations, 4popoid........

I was on the right track with Norway and Sweden (Scandinavian look to the gentlemen's suit), just forgot to mention Denmark.
I also was aware of Dansk Karosser--Fabrik in Copenhagen but failed to use the proper search parameters to find this specific car.

In any case, I finally found it and can also report that it was apparently built for a Mr. Albert Andersen who was a motor sports driver and driving instructor.  The badges on the front of the car represent races in which he participated.


Good job!!

Bill
