Is it based on a British car, from about 1935? That's a decent sized steering wheel it has, it's nearly as big as the back wheel.

Could be as it's RHD, but base isn't actually known.
Date is probably about right.

I can now see where Ferrari got its inspiration for the window-line of the 458 Italia.  ;) :D

Louvres on the bootlid? Is it rear-engined?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Any Lloyd connection?

As said in Reply #4 the base isn't actually known, but it's assumed to be British since it's RHD.
That rules out Lloyd and Adler.

I was thinking of the GB Lloyd, from Grimsby. Their early cars from 1936 were rear-engined and powered by a 347cc Villiers engine - this car looks like it could be a rebodied one of those.

It is possible it's one of those then, yes, but it's not actually known.  Could be that engine; I'll see if I can find out.

I can't find out what make of engine this car has, but it's entirely possible it could be Villiers.

Terrific - you found it!

There was some suggestion it was based around a British car as it is RHD, and by its size it might well be.
