The wheels, I think, say Bristol 405. Is this the basis for this horror? :'(

That's it. As you said there isn't a lot known about it but my info said it was built between 1945 and 1948 and was driven by an 8hp Standard engine.  That's about it, but it seems it is now being restored; perhaps more info will come to light.
