Experts?

Too easy for the pros. Have a good look at the car for clues. When you think what it could be based on, the rest is simple.

No.

I can't find any other clues apart from the wheels, but I have no idea what they belong to, so I will need to keep searching.

Keep looking!

Yes indeed. Built by Arthur Grayson using a Ford 1172s/v engine in an Austin 7 chassis.

One more point to you. I'm surprised the Experts couldn't solve this one.
