It's called the 'John Densham Riley Special Nr.3' and was based on a 1935 Riley 9 IMP chassis and 1100cc IMP engine, bodywork by John Densham and Lewis Edmunds in 1948.

It looks similar to a Jaguar XK, but appears to have advance/retard controls on the steering wheel. So is it an earlier car which has been rebodied?

Indeed, the chassis is older than the coachwork
