Minimal motoring. What is the make and model of this tiny car?

Somewhat reminiscent of the Bramble. Any connection?

No, this is a genuine period car, Bramble is a modern invention!

The engine looks like a Douglas motorcycle unit, but the car isn't a Douglas so far as I know.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

It's not a Douglas, and I don't believe the engine is a Douglas either (certainly that wasn't listed as an option for this model)

Yes! There is a generic model name, too - can you tell me what it is?
