Actually, I correct myself. I believe it is an Elva 75. When I bought my 56 Jag, the neighbor across the street had an MG based Elva Courier. I had never even heard of one! He showed me a series of photos he had on Elvas and said the 75 competed against the Lotus Eleven.

I think the clue here is what appears to be the black line outlining the fender. Similar to the welting between the fender and the body on a VW bug. I’m not saying it’s a VW. Just that the fender is a separate panel from the body shell.

Yes, and the distance from the rear edge of the door and the wheel arch opening is quite different on the Elva.

Anyway, wrong colour 
Cheers,

Found this earlier shot of CS, taken circa 1956....
The car is a Ferrari, an 857 (4 cylinder, 3.4 litre) I think, although it could be a 410 (12 cyl., 4.9 litre). Car was owned by John Edgar

Looks like it is sporting a clear plastic chin spoiler. Or some other material.
As for what it is the hood scoop looks like what they would have had for a v12. The car behind is different, perhaps that is an inline six.
