It is a 1948 Healey but not by Westland.
I'll lock it for you for another guess.

Sorry but not that one either.
Another clue as you seem determined to solve this one - the first letter of the first name starts with 'F'
Locked for you for another try.

Unlock it. I am officially throwing in the towel. When you said two names, I was sure it was Freeston & Webb from the similarities in other models. Now, I have absolutely no idea.
Good luck to whoever can pick this up.
