Yes, it is a Bradshaw Utility prototype from 1948.

My first point for you is on the way, congratulations, Voisin.

New one to me.  It was built by Lansing Bagnall, best known for their fork-lift trucks and baggage trucks. It was supposedly a 4-seat saloon, but power was a 5hp transverse vertical-twin driving the front wheels. The 3-speed 'box was mounted below the engine, so the whole shebang precedes the Mini.

I use the words "supposedly" and "but" advisedly - 5hp to carry 4 adults ?

Are they sliding doors?

Yes, sliding doors. The car survives at the Oily Rag Collection of The Automobile magazine.

Hopefully this will be back on the road by the end of the year... If anyone knows the fate of the other Lansing-Bagnall Bradshaw car (the 'Shay Sports') I'd be most interested

This photo of the car was just posted up on Pistonheads' Classic car forum. I hope it's nearer restoration now.
