It looks too big for a Seven. Is it an Austin 10 base?
Is the body by Jensen?

fromwien · « **Reply #19 on:** November 11, 2022, 02:06:48 PM »

Neither Austin 10 based, nor body by Jensen

Is it Austin 7 based after all?

I can't really tell what's going on with the wings/fenders and headlights on this car. Are they shaped similar to those of a TR3?

I understand altering your photos to prevent the use of reverse-image search engines, but sometimes the resulting image lacks sufficient detail for identification. Can you provide a clearer image of this car? Thanks.
