I'd be surprised if it were, although the front wings are a bit like a 14 Sports.
The wheels look like Jaguar, but with different hubcaps; the bonnet-top probably has carburettor(s) in it.
Perhaps it's based on the Daimler V8 250 but it looks earlier

OK let's go back a stage!
Is it British, or is it from some other Commonwealth country?

Then why don't I remember it?!
I presume it's a special, not a series-produced job.
It must date from about 1955

The car is not far from 1955 and it is a special.
