Is it a car from the 1930's-40's later rebodied, say in the 1970's or 80's?

This car has indeed known several lives but the decades you've mentioned are mostly wrong, apart from the 1930s which are right.

Riley?

Found it - 1929 Riley 9hp "The Cuthbert Special". Built by Alex Cuthbert using the engine from a Brooklands in a standard 9hp chassis, for better ride characteristics on the bumpy Brooklands circuit.
