I reckon this is easy.

The Pros will laugh if I put this up. A clue - what marque does it resemble?

The dashboard looks early 30s, MG?

Is this Jim Tiller's car?

Yes, it is. Another point to you.

It's Jim's 1950 J2 which he has developed to a ridiculous degree, and takes part in sprints, drag racing and Bonneville speed events. It's now almost unrecognisable from some angles, and I suppose it's the fastest Allard ever built. He calls it "The Old Fella".

[Allan L]

He calls it "The Old Fella".

and he's known to his friends similarly!
