Not from Australia, not mid-1950s and not Ford V8 powered.
Otherwise good guess!

You're right up to a point, but it's not exactly 'a TVR 3'.  What is it exactly?

I wonder why the original puzzle didn't show on my search for '1951 TVR' (putting 'TVR 3' in won't work as the search will not accept single digits).
However, you haven't answered all the questions asked so I'll lock it for you to give the final answers for the point.

Maybe you're looking for TVR No 3 name?
It was powered by a 4-cylinder 1.2 Ford 100E engine.

It was TVR No. 3, yes. i.e. the third TVR made.
It might originally have had an 1172 cc Ford side-valve, but not for long.
What did it have when the puzzle picture was taken?

Not a serious answer, but it reminded me of this French advertisement for paté pur porc.  ;D
