Looks to me as if it's Morris-based and it could be one of the Skinner cars, but that'd be a repost. . .

It's neither Austin- nor Morris-based and is nothing to do with Skinner..

That's right!
RALT 2 actually..
And when was it built (locked for PJ to tell me); not pre-war (just to answer oko's question).

According to Ron Tauranac's Official website it was the 2nd car built in 1949-50 but called just 1100.

And the place where this pic was posted by Doug reports 1951. ( "I call it Ralt 2").
