Well, it's right hand drive and sitting in Australia I think. Did Oz have an auto manufacturing industry that long ago? If not, It's British for sure.

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

I wonder the same thing Pete, the back end doesn't look like anything I remember made in Britain from that era.

Hard to tell from the pictures but is the hood ornament a Triumph Flying Lady? Gloria?

It is pre-war and of British manufacture. The rear basket is not original. The radiator cowl and the "gearstick" give big clues. Not Triumph.

Daimler?

Not really much point in just listing names without a reason. One of the above is correct, but need details. It is a very old respected English Marque. :cheers:
