I don't think this one is Austin based so I'll go for Ford?

Okay I think this one is based on a fairly mundane British chassis - so my next guess would be a Morris Eight...?

Yes!  That's got the base car, now for the rest of the question...

I found it as a Morris Special with Stuart and Helen Tucker aboard competing in the MCC Land's End Trial 2007. It doesn't say if the car is based on a Morris 8 or a Morris Minor. I tried extending the search but came up with no more information so far......

You're right that's them and it doesn't say.. I assumed Morris Eight as it is a more likely base for a Trials car but it may not be.
You can't tell from the registration as it has a "Q" number..

In the lack of further information it's your point!
Well done.
