Is this one of Tony Seber's creations ?

Yes it is...

All I can find is that Tony Seber has built a few cars called Wolseley Hornet Specials , based on cars dating from 1935/36, and I presume he constructs his own chassis.

Some more digging to do , the chassis is from a genuine car...

[nicanary]

Is the chassis from a different British manufacturer ?

I found the phone number of the Wolseley Hornet Special Owners Club and was tempted to phone them, but I decided it was cheating. The Nuffield Group shared many components so may be the chassis is a Morris?

It's not cheating!  It's genuine sleuthing!

A clue (or tip if you like) for Nicanary for all your work invested so far, continue on the Tony Seber trail... shouldn't be difficult then

I think it's the following car : built by John Seber on a 1933 Triumph Gloria chassis, with a 14hp Hornet New 14 engine and gearbox, and a body in the style of an Alfa Romeo Monza.

I really hope this is right - the info is from the Registrar of the Hornet Special Owners Club. He's been very patient and helpful.

Those were indeed the clues/names I was looking for, a well deserved point for you after so much hard work ! I believe we must admit that Mr. Seber did a very nice job here !
