It looks remarkably like a 1938+ Flying Standard, but what would one of those be doing in Hungary?

The same thing these were doing in Estonia:

Come on, you really think they weren't exported?

No, but they weren’t exactly popular cars, I would have thought European makes would have done better.

1938-1949 Standard Flying Ten/Twelve/Fourteen and unlikely to be post war by the slim bumper. Seeing more of rear shape of the car would help.

I also see that most of Gamer’s references have right hand drive, which seems odd. The “Flying” models were used as staff cars during WW2, and could have found their way to Estonia with the armed forces.

:) Good enough to show a Flying Ten but not quite enough to say it was a Ten Super.

Not quite.

"Standard gained before World War II a pretty large popularity, rising to third place among the British makes behind Austin and Morris. (...) Representing Standard probably since 1933 was Johannes Freybach. Were there only 11 Standards registered in Estonia on April 1, 1935, by January 1, 1940 their number had risen to 69. A majority of these cars were taken to Russia in 1941 or destroyed in World War II. In the early 1970s there were 5 cars registered as Standard in Estonia."
