Another small car but older than the last one.
Make, year and what engine did it use? (there were two makes of engine so choose one)
Fairley 1947 ?

Fairley 1947 ?
Fairley is correct but the year is wrong.
Also what engine (two alternatives) did it use?
Locked for you...
1948 and Jowett engine ?

1948 and Jowett engine ?
Jowett is correct, you could also choose a Ford engine on request.
I have the year as 1949 but as you were right with the other questions I'll award you the point to edge you closer to the next level.
Who built this, based on what, when - for 1 point?:
Experts?
From Britain, although the wheels look French. I must have a picture, somewhere.....
It is British..
Turner?
No.
Morris 8 Series E ?
No Morris bits that I know of!
Fairley 1947 ?
Yes!
Locked for you to answer the last question - based on what?
based on Jowett ?
No.
Have another go!
500 Special with Austin 7 chassis ?
Austin 7 is the right base, yes!
I know it says in more than one place that it had a Jowett engine but the latest information says different..
1 point for you and well done.
I'll have to merge it now though as this car has appeared before (with a Jowett engine..!)
Is your puzzle car rather this one (cf. headlight position):

Or are they all the same car?
Good point
I was not concentrating properly and was distracted by the fact that the registration numbers are the same on both barrett's car and mine (see below); but they are clearly not the same car!
My puzzle car is is very similar to woodinsight's; it's a pity we don't get to see his registration number then we might know better.
I think it's most probably the same car as woodinsight's and my information about it being Ausstin-based is maybe not right, so I'll merge my puzzle with that instead. It is possible that they made two, one with a Jowett engine and one with an Austin, as we do know they made a number of cars, but I think it's a bit unlikely they made two identical-looking ones.
Look here for barrett's car with the same registration number:
