I have to admit that my assumption that it is Triumph-based may be wrong. I had in my memory that it was Triumph-powered. But on second sight, it is just that nowadays a TR4 engine is fitted, which must be a later alteration. Sorry!

Has anyone managed to dig up any more about this? Any evidence of 'Finch Engineering' to be found?

The car was on display at Retromobile in Paris.
According to the information card it was built in 1953 by a team of engineers from Vickers Ltd. and has a Triumph TR2 engine mated to an MG gearbox.
