I think it might be a Marquette, but it lacks the front bumper. The body also looks more european, could be a british coachbuilt car?

Yes it is a Marquette (Series 30 I think) and it does have a body by a British coachbuilder.
Locked for you...

I have found a text talking of a one off british built Marquette Coupe, but I have no picture. Coachwork by Progressive. Could it be this car?

Not by Progressive.
Better known but not the one of the leading ones. They went out of business in 1939.
Still locked for you.

I have one more proposal. If this is not correct, please open up again:
I found this text from some sort of an archive. It lists vehicles built with Grose body. May Grose be the answer?

Photographs of Grose-built vehicle bodies upon other chassis (except where indicated) (cont.)
