Solved - NEH 5085: BMC Singer - 1952

I'd swear we've had this before, but I can't find it so here it is (again?!):

What is it, from when, based on what and who's driving it - for 1 point?:

Remember - solving puzzles using 'Google Search by Image' is BANNED on AutoPuzzles!

Good start but you'll need to answer all the questions.
Locked for you to do so.

Yes, that's broadly right.  The car was known as the BMC Singer 1500 I believe.  BMC was owned by Norwegian immigrant Kjell Qvale, the guy in the driving seat of the puzzle car, who had quite an illustrious career in the motor world, at one time being the owner of Jensen Motors.

So it's another point for you.

The lines almost pre-date the MGA by 3 years.  Only the radiator opening is significantly different.
