Were several versions of tourers made on the 8 HP "Y" base, that one looks as the 2 seater offered by Wilsons (Kingston) Ltd. in January 1933.

Not those. I think Greyhound was a style of body, possibly by Abbotts?

Less known than the suggestions so far.

I believe so. I'm not sure if there were any other cars built by this company, this is the only example I have heard of
