Although this marque has been posted before, this is not a repost, it's a different model.
So, marque, model and year please

Raymond Mays 2 1/2 litre drophead coupe - 1938.  This had a V8 Standard / Autovia engine, I believe

Nothing to do with Autovia which was an 8-cylinder Riley development.
Most of the chassis was Standard I think - the V8 Standard was a small car with a large engine which didn't catch on.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong
