Front lights and the fender's shape remember me the Ford Consul mkI, but it had front engine...and there is no grille...perhaps a prototype?

Only 1 question at once don't forget!
It's not German, ergo it can't be a Veritas either..

It is a prototype, yes, but there's no Ford connection.

There could be a small hint of steering wheel on the left side of the photo.

So British then?

There was, but this isn't one; have a look here:  www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=1686.0

1950 Jowett ERA Javelin prototype.

..because this is what it is, yes, the Jowett Javelin prototype with ERA-tuned mechanics.
But I'd love to know how you managed to find that before I award the point?  PM me if you like!

At first I thought it may be Standard Vanguard variant (because of the shape of the fenders and the V windscreen, but then I remembrered the Jowett Javelin had a similar look) so I googled Jowett prototype and found it from there I think.

I am old enough to have seen Jowetts on the street when I lived in England in the early 60's as a kid (they were old bangers then)

BTW I am a retired car designer, so I look at shapes and anylise them out of habit.

If you think I am a cheating , dont bother to give me the point, I just like remembering the cars and finding out about the ones I dont know. :)

I wish I had.
I've only been able to find this one photo of it on just one location on the entire Internet; that's why I thought it would be a real teaser and take a lot of solving.  But WayneB is too much of an Expert for that!
