..but it is based on a BSA, yes.
But that's only part of the answer I need for the point so I'll lock it for you to delve into more deeply..

The sole survivor of two BSA McEvoy specials produced in the early 1930's.
Based on a 1933 BSA 1OHP RWD (rear wheel drive) with body by Jensen.
The supercharged engine was prepared by McEvoy's of Derby, UK agents for Zoller superchargers.
Known as the 'Alfa Beta' due to its appearance.

Here's another picture of what I believe is the same car with different wings, although there was more than 1 McEvoy Special (one has been featured on AP before), all with similar features but different base.

Another picture of this McEvoy Special, dating from 1934 and showing the car being driven by Michael McEvoy in London's Notting Hill, accompanied by Laurence Pomeroy in the front passenger seat and Mrs McEvoy in the back.
