Looks like a MG TC or earlier with a five speed conversion kit missing the front springs and some type of Positive Crank Vent system fitted to the top of the engine?
Other than that I've no clue!

Might as well cover some more bases and say Triumph 10? Obviously no idea what I'm looking at.

All these chassis games are over my head. I work better with bodies (pun intended /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) and grilles.

1949 Triumph 2000 Roadster (TRA) shown at the 2006 TRC rally. It belongs to David Robinson of Luton UK and is the poster child for restoration of the chassis and motor. Powered by the Standard Vanguard motor only for the 2000 model. The 1946-1948 TRD 1800 roadsters were powered by 1776cc motor supplied by Jaguar. The frames are nearly the same, but were beefed up for the 1949 model. Great guesses! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Triumph_1800_roadster_FR.jpg

Ha ha! got it in just under wire!! a guess of course.
My first guess was the 1800, which was close, but wrong. and that threw me off. I don't know enough about pre-TR Triumphs without research, that I missed that the 1800 had the Flying Standard engine, where the 2000 got the Standard Vanguard engine. Otherwise the chassis were quite similar, from what I read.
Thanks for the brain excercise.
