I don't know the model or year of this car but it's sufficient to identify the make for the point.

Not that - it's a pre-war car

Well the radiator and badge look like Bayliss-Thomas to me, but the car looks later than 1929 when they stopped making cars. Maybe it's a 1930s reworking of an earlier car - or something entirely different of course!
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

It is a Bayliss-Thomas taking part in an English trial in the 1950s.
I don't know the original year of the car or whether it was modified in the 1930s.
Another point for you.
