It's Ken Wylie's special built on Austin A40 mechanicals around 1948.

 That is the car, it comes from Australia. Congratulations a new point for you.

I found the answer by accident. I actually thought it was probably a dirt-track car, and asked Google Images for "Australian Dirt-Track Cars 1950s". Lucky for me an image came up of the car as it is today, seen at an historic retrospective. It is missing the chrome hubcaps, but once I knew what it probably was, it was easy to find period images.

They were brothers - I think Arthur was the elder.
