It's an Alvis, but not a 12/70 and not from 1937.

Is this the prototype TA14 registered in 1948 but reported as existing in 1944?

I'm guessing it's a Silver Crest, 1938, bodywork by Cross & Ellis.

Locked for Lavrakas, because it's actually an Alvis Silver Crest, but not from 1938. I don't know the coachbuilder, but he's not even in demand.

By a process of elimination 1936; which would mean the body is by Holbrook.

Yes, it is a Alvis Silver Crest from 1936, which is your next point.
