What is this car (easy) and what is the odd bodywork?

You are so close! I'll LOCK this for Hiawatha. It is an Austin 7 (easy) and it has deliberately been made to look like a saddle, but Brooks isn't the correct make. Have another try.

Neither Lycett nor Gough. Not a company you would normally associate with bicycle seats.

I just found that this car has appeared on AP before:
https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/featured-imagery/advertising-automobiles-your-contributions-are-welcome!/msg249004/#msg249004
The company it was advertising was Dunlop.

You've found the car and earned the point. No wonder it didn't appear on my search!

Presumably Dunlop made bicycle accessories.
