Richard, welcome to AutoPuzzles, I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here, it's addictive and great fun.
It's not an Invicta but I obscured the badge on the radiator.
As a hint it's not British and as it's your first post I'll lock it for you until your next reply to try again.

1938/9 Delage D6 - 70 Sports Saloon by Coachcraft "University Coachwork"? If so, this was one of the bodies prepared by Coachcraft for University Motors, at that time the UK Delage agent. University Motors bought Coachcraft after the Second World War.

Yes, it's a Coachraft-bodied Delage D6-70 but the year I have is slightly earlier then 1938/9.
I'll lock it for you to firm this up before I award you the point.

Introduced in 1935, but only a very few supplied to the coachbuilders in that year, and sold in 1936 - 1939, and since you dont have 1938/9 down it will have to be 1936/7, then.
