It looks a wide car - is it perhaps a Jensen?

Quite similar to the Swallow Doretti apart from the grille.

Similar, but it isn't one.

Yes, reportedly only three cars built. Well found!

The puzzle cars survived:

Yes, it is Triumph-based.

Interesting to work out which Triumph it was based on. The KC Special, as stated above, was first registered in 1953 and has an engine of 1281cc. Nearest production Triumph of the time was the (sidevalve) Mayflower at 1247cc which wouldn't be the power unit many people would choose.
