French, one-off, built by a journalist?

Austin 7 based?

It's a 1939 MG TA with a later Rochdale C-Type body and a Laystall engine. Its registration number is/was ENY 242.

Sorry, no Austin 7 connection - I knew it would be Carnut who solved this! He's absolutely spot-on.

Laystall engine?
There was a Laystall-Lucas cylinder head for the XPAG engine (as in TB/TC/TD) but not sure about an engine.

No, I don't know of a whole Laystall engine either. It's how it was described, but I suppose they mean a Laystall-modified engine.
