This looks like one of the Kenmar (later Shirley) shells from 1955-1960.  I think it is one of the earlier Kenmar cars.

And as I wrote four years ago, it's a Ford special - 8 h.p. rather than 10 - and it's still registered as a 1959 Ford Popular

Is it the same car as the puzzle car?
'SFF' is of course a re-registration from only a few years ago and is not the number the car will have had for most of its life.

OFF 432 is a 1951 car and I would have though SFF might be o.k. for 1959 in  Merioneth.  It isn't the same reg.no. as the puzzle car, but the Ford wheels were what I noticed four years ago and they are even more obvious on SFF

No, Merioneth never got as far as OFF and certainly not SFF.  Along with Motherwell and Wishaw (GM) and Gateshead (FT) they were one of the slowest-issuing councils and only got half way through the original style before the new system came in.

The furthest Merioneth got with the original issues was HFF, which commenced in April 1963, before they switched to the suffix system along with most others in January 1964 when AFF 1B was issued.

Both OFF and SFF are what the DVLA quaintly call 'age-related plates', issued recently to pre-1964 cars which have had their registration numbers either sold or otherwise lost to them, and which of course to most people would appear to be genuine original plates but which to me stick out like a sore thumb!  Others codes used for such issues are 'SU' and 'SV' and some others which I just can't recall off the top of my head right now..
