Appears to be Standard Eight or Standard Ten (or Triumph Ten) with non-standard grille. Not been able to find it yet though.

Yes but sorry marmer, if I'd seen this before this morning I would have locked it for you.

Ohta PX

That's right, yes.
Just give me the year and the point will be yours.

I wasn't the first one to answer. It should be the correct thing to let marmer name the car in full.

Spaz is being very gracious.  The PX clue came from him/her.

I found a reference to the Ohta PX being from 1955, is that the year you are looking for?

Yes, that is the date I was looking for, although looking at the story below it may actually be from earlier but only saw the light of day in 1955 (but not production!). So it's 1 point for marmer; well done!

The following is from Jeremy Risdon's excellent series on Japanese vehicles:
