You're probably right looking at the wheels, but I don't actually know that for sure.

I have got it as "Finned Roadster" the source says it is a nota 1172 I imagine this is for the ford sidevalve engine but also referes a Nota nš9 but It is from Australia.

Not sure.
Looks about 1954 or so?

Guy Buckingham returned to Australia in 1955, and the background suggests that's where this photo was taken. So I reckon it's around 1955/56, but it's surprising how little info is on the web about the older cars.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

The station wagon in the back ground is an EK Holden (1961-62), so the photo has to be taken after that.
