Not that I know. I think the car was built post-war.

I have discovered that the car was built in 1949.

FHN (Ford-Harrison-Nash) Special of F. Harrison. Based on a pre-war G.N. chassis, powered by a supercharged Ford Ten motor, and consisting of various other inexpensive components.

Built in 1949 for a cost of £126. And it won awards at sprints!..

Very well found, and all the information has been provided. One more point.
