Looks like it could be a Delta by Glass Fibre Laminations from Wordsley, Worcestershire

This is the 1953 Cooper Zephyr.
Lovely car!
It's as much fun to scare as to be scared

It is the 1953 Cooper Zephyr!  Built by Frederick Coleman using a Cooper Bristol chassis and a 2.3 litre 6 cylinder Ford Zephyr engine.
One point to you.
