yes, it belonged to BMC
not Austin

I am not going to lock if you found the manufacturer, because that is the easier part. You need to tell me exactly what is shown in this picture.

The company was Wolseley. But what is shown in this picture?

Prototype for a "cheap" Wolseley below the 10hp model ?

I don't recognise it but the front axle location and Wolseley connection suggest it might be a Stellite.

still, it is a sort-of-prototype so you have to be a little more precise than that
THe caption did not say which model this was supposed to be

A light car proposal in connection with the Ishikawajima licensing deal?

A one-off made for the Vickers family ?

not a one-off for the Vickers family and i don't think it is related to the Ishikawajima deal, but the word "proposal" is so far the closest to what is shown. So gtr4289 locked for you to provide an even more precise definition.

On second look, this appears to be a non-operational mock-up. Was it a promotional/display vehicle, possibly intended for the new Wolseley House showroom in Piccadilly?

That's the word!

"What appears to be a day out for these ladies is actually a test for a new Wolseley car. If you look closely, the mock-up is made from wood"

Photo was taken at the British Motor Museum last September :)
