I can tell you what the car is in the top right-hand corner!

Is the puzzle car based on an Austin 7hp ?

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I feel like I'm stealing this.

It's the Bristol Barb - a MkII Cooper-Bristol rebodied by Alex McMillan with a Rochdale F-type shell.

Nooooooo!!!!!! It isn't. It's his follow-up car, which was painted in the same colour scheme. It was an Elva Mk I powered by Climax FWA and bodied by Rochdale, chassis no.100/7. That explains the wire wheels - the Cooper had the typical elektron wheels. The year should be about 1956.

Indeed you're right second time.
Sorry dzima1985 - I would probably have locked it for you to dig into if I'd seen your message sooner, but you've been pipped to the post!

The original picture, but a bit fuzzy:


Well done Nicanary.
