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.

Oops, I had not spotted the little Union Jack on the side of the car...

So it must be a British car, isn't it?

You have better eyesight than me! Yes, it's British.

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.

Wild guess: Riley?

No Riley content as far as I know.

The wheels look as if they may be from a Ford Popular 103E.

Now that's the clue I was hinting at. Well spotted. It's not enough for a lock, though.

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.
