It is a Lancia Lambda that has been rebodied as a saloon. It was originally a tourer.
I don't have any dates and the coachbuilder isn't Garavini.

Lancia Lambda by Höhener?

Not by them.
The coachbuilder is not Italian or Swiss.

British?

Yes it's British

I would not be surprised if this is so called portable hardtop saloon. The lower part is standard open Lancia tourer, the top is detachable and can be fitted for the cold season. It was quite a common practice on cars, the Lancia Lambda even more so, because there was a strong monocoque construction in the open tourer as it was. As for the top builder, Harrington?

Yes, I believe you are correct in that the base was a standard Lancia Lambda tourer that was converted to a saloon by two names, the British coachbuilder.

Not that, lesser known and the two names don't normally have an '&' between them.....

Beddoes Moore?

Well it looks a bit Weymann-like so perhaps it was J. Gurney Nutting (which is of course the man's name, so isn't two names whatever it looks like).

Not by them - the names are a bit longer

Although mainly known for their hearses, Woodall Nicholson would fit the requirements.
