May be a 1951 Minor Tourer [MM] - has raised headlights, but before Convertible fixed side screens. Strange modern wheels (smaller diameter than original) and perhaps newer replacement rear wings?? Strongly smells mongrel, but not totally obvious what it mixes.

Which is inconvenient for this one, as I think they're 57+ replacement wings with modern smaller wheels which camouflage things.
