It's a Barrett Minor, introduced in 1956 and replaced in 1959 by the Barrett Midget. Both cars developed and produced for the Ministry of Health in the UK by W&F Barrett Ltd of Bristol.

Exactly; very good.
Under the old rules that would have made you an Expert but now you've still got to identify another 30 puzzles before you'll achieve that!

Has this picture been modified at all? Or are there any better pictures available?

I just took the registration number out from beneath the headlight, but the original was no better...
