I have found another photo of the car on a photostream website where it is included amongst 1947 Rover 12hp cars. Sadly the site captions it as a 1939 Case tractor.

It seems to be powered by an engine from the Rover P2-P4 era, as the bump on the bonnet would be in the correct place for the carbs/air intake.

Still searching.........
