My guess is that it is a Weymann (fabric covered) bodied something. back end looks Rileyish but not the radiator. I would guess Lea Francis or Lanchester from that rad shape.

^^^ Charming little Morris Minor, color suitable for a tropical climate!
Putting push-button control for the automatic transmission at the left end of the dash not such a good idea I think. I had a '59 Dodge with that feature and recall it was awkward to use.

This particular Minor is a rather rare "limited edition" made to celebrate the production of the millionth Morris Minor in December of 1960 (note that the badge on the bootlid says "Minor 1000000" and not the more usual "Minor 1000"). Including the actual millionth Minor, there were 350 of these made. They were all finished in Lilac, with an off white interior but were otherwise (except for the badging, standard Minors.
320 were sold in the UK, 21 left hand drive cars went to the US and the other 9, also left hand drive, went to Europe. As the car in the photograph is now in Australia, I can only assume that it was, at some stage, privately imported from the UK.

Given the very plain door and bonnet sides etc. plus the lack of (a) the usual louvres in the bonnet side panels and (b) any panel between the windscreen bulkhead and the bonnet side panels I wonder if this was a locally built body on an existing chassis? I can't find any photographs or drawings of anything else quite like this.

I can`t claim that this is my shot. I inherited a bunch of medium format negs from ,I`m guessing , the `40`s .
Just wondering if somebody could identify the car .

I'm not saying it is but, to me, it looks like a Jewel, a car made in small numbers from a premises at 4 Bowland Street, Bradford in the 1920s and early 1930s. According to Culshaw and Horrobin's Complete Catalogue of British Cars "The Bradford built Jewel light car was listed for practically two decades, but very small numbers were produced. Most cars were effectively one-offs, as the maker, John E Wood, nearly always built cars to a customer's individual requirements".
There is virtually nothing I can find on the internet about Jewel cars (the similarly named Jewell was an unrelated American make) and the only illustration I can find on the internet is a scan of the one in Culshaw and Horrobin's book, which is on Wikipedia, which unfortunately contains little else of use. It is of a 1935 Jewel.
The wheels and mudguards in your photo are different, and the boot is also slightly different, as are the door hinges, but the similarities are quite striking. As most Jewel cars were effectively one-offs, a few differences from one car to the next would not be unusual. The photo is reproduced below:

One of the few photos I have of my 1965 Ford Thunderbird (sold a number of years ago), with my 1963 Ford Falcon in the driveway. Yes those lake pipes actually worked

My '63 Falcon sedan, just before I sold it a few years back. I loved that car - put 100,000 miles on it, should never have sold it.

1940 Buick. My dad owned one of these for a couple years when I was little; I can still remember the smell of 90-weight gear oil that it smelled like inside. He sold it when we moved.

Another 1965 T-Bird, but not quite as nice as Vince's in Post #2251. First time shooting a (prism-less) TLR in a while, so the verticals are wonky.
