Hmmmm, partially English could be the other way - a specially bodied Nash-Healey?

I think this is a Bugatti by Derrington of Kingston-on-Thames

Thanks.
Vic Derrington owned a Type 57, so this is probably it.
It has to be a post war design and I read it appeared in a 1952 magazine. Could that be it?
