Not French, despite its colour!

Looks like a high chassis 4½ litre Invicta of about 1930 to me.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

Spot on, Allan! You nailed the make, model and year. Only the Coachbuilder left to collect your point. Locked for you, of course.

I'm not good at identifying coachwork but for some reason I guessed Lancefield as there's a low chassis Invicta d.h.c. by them in Nick Walker's book. A Google search seems to confirm that guess.
