At first blush I thought this was a Jaguar, but I don't think so. I do know no one is going to strap surf boards on it - maybe a set of matched Purdey side-by-sides and a wicker of lunch sandwiches and small pastries.
Don't think so on the A-H. Even when they had the narrow grille it was wider at the top and the fog lights were never integrated into the body. I think.
Oy! Got here too late to post my thoughts..but an Austin would have been my second guess. My obscure Brit car tidbit; My very eccentric and, (at the time) wealthy aunt Matille had a 1937 Armstrong-Siddeley that she used to tool around Richmond, Va. in, the car usually being driven by whatever ne'er-do-well boyfriend she was hooked up with at the time. She was a wild, wonderful woman to my 8 year-old self....a real eye-opener. Think; "Travels With My Aunt", meets the Rolling Stones.

Nice! Best one so far!
Austin Healey woodie from the 40's?

I stand corrected. It is a 1948 Austin, although not an Austin-Healey, as it is before the merger with Donald Healey. Whatever, a very cool car.
Or is it a Healey?
I was going to guess an Alvis. Whatever marque she's lovely!
The British really know how to bird hunt don't they?

PS- The Kvale is a thing o' beauty!
The frontal section matches the one of certain Healey sportscars. Not Austin-Healey, just Healey.
