I believe these are - on the left a Duncan bodied Healey and on the right a Duncan bodied Alvis

(oops I got over excited there!)

Not quite right MJW - The Alvis is correct, but the other car is not a Healey (although it looks like it)

Locked for you

Is it a Hillman Minx body that Ian Duncan dropped on a Healey chassis with a Healey style grille?

That's the one!
Although woodinsight guessed Healey this car is known as the Duncan-Hillman or Duncan-Minx

One point each for Aaron65 and MJW

I have to say that I've never heard of the Duncan-Hillman Minx.
Autopuzzles surprises every day!
Thanks for the point - it was unexpected

The small bit of information I have

"Three A-type chassis were ordered from the DHMC and the first one fitted with a Hillman Minx body suitably modified to take the Healey kite shape grille. While that was strange enough the next two were even more so with first a Ford Anglia followed by a Prefect body being fitted. The next body was completely new and fitted to a Alvis TA14 chassis"
