Was it built between 1935 and 1940 ?

I don't know when it was built, but I imagine it was post-war (on a pre-war base).

Well, "from when" is one of the questions you asked so I assumed you knew the answer  ;)

An MG with a Ford 1172 s/v engine seems a bit like a trials special. Was this built by the Tucker-Peake family?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I keep reading its description but can't decide if it was actually built when the car was quite new.  That's what I took it to mean when I first posted the puzzle, which is why I asked for the date as I have it, but now I'm not so sure.

No, not theirs.

The builder's initials wouldn't happen to be H.J.P., would they?
