Was the other featured car a post-war racer too ?

Yes, the other featured car was post-war, but it wasn't built specifically for racing.

Was the other car featured on AP also based on an Austin 7 ?

Thank you for reviving this one, but sadly it was not built by Reg Philips.

As far as you are aware, does this car still exist today?

Sorry for the slow reply; I've been tied-up in a couple of major motoring events of the last few weeks.

Sadly I don't know if this car still exists today, sorry.

No.
Was the other car based on a brand that still exists?

I'll need to get back to you on that one as far away from my original information source, so watch this space...

Sorry for my slow reply PJ, I missed this post.

Yes, it is another Freshwater creation, an Austin Seven-based special, built by Howard Freshwater between 1949-50.

Well done, two points to you, and please don't forget to try to narrow down the creator for my #654 puzzle here in BH too, as you have already mentioned the name, but as part of a long list, with this one still Locked to you  ;).
