Not Austin, not 1954-56, but you're on the right track and pretty close to the solution, so I'm locking this puzzle for you.

fromwien is right, it a Wolseley 6/110 - 300. But the puzzle-version is older. Locked to name the correct year of construction.

The first year of the Wolseley 6/110 was1961. The brochure illustrations were still the same in 1962 and 1963. I still own one of the brochures, as a friend of my father intended to buy an example in 1964

Well then, name 1961 as the date. My source is from 1961, so I don't have a comparison with other years. There is one point.
