Assuming there are carbs. under that cover that rather limits the options: non-crossflow engine with the inlet/exhaust on the right, which is why I thought MG.
Possibly Triumph, then, but not a TR chassis as there seem to be dumb irons.
Pre-war?

Triumph TR based is correct Allan.
I'll lock it for you until your next reply.
I just need the name of this special for the point.
Here is another view -

Since I don't know it I'll leave it for the others. Cheffins auctioned a nameless TR2 Special, HSL 815, in June 2003, but I have no photo if it, so it could be this one.

Good guess but it's not that.
This one has a specific name and is a one-off.

Peckmills Special was what I was looking for - well done Joao.

I actually have based on a 1958 TR2 chassis.
The car was built by Jeff Luff in 1999.
