That looks like an Austin 7 wheel.

Dunk, 

 

I have been trying to find something in my photos that I have not posted before and failed. So please can someone else step into the breech and help me out. That is an unusual shape bonnet on the Austin 7. They are usually not as rounded as that. I am guessing that must be a fairly early one. Every time I drive a 7, I always find the clutch pedal difficult with it's less an inch total travel.

 

I drove a replica of the supercharged twin cam 7 racer a few years ago and was astonished at the performance of a 1930's 750cc car. When we were young, my brother had a pedal car version of the twin cam racer. I thought I would service for him and this consisted of oiling everything, including the leather band hand brake. It ended up with a large dent in the front and me being sent to my room, without supper.  :(

The Austin 7 is 1924 vintage which is  probably second or third year production.

Your turn.

In spite of the small crop this should not be too difficult since it is a very well known car.

Here's the next car - unlikely to be too difficult but please state both marque and model.

 

And the photo shows the whole car which hopefully should enable a positive ID.

The marque is still in production; this particular example is unique but well known.

Correction ... it is not unique because there are several survivors of the original 15 ? chassis.
