Then I would guess the 53-58 version of the Opel Kapitän. 

Wilson

Incorrect. TTBOMK no Opel connection. And 1950s is the incorrect era for this particular model - but previous models were made in the 50's

Just researched a little more and some later export versions of this car were fitted with Rover and Perkins engines – but the original aluminium 2.5L (ish) OHV engine for this model was designed / manufactured in its country of origin.

The radio aerial is raised / adjusted from car interior. 

And no GM / Opel connection 

EDIT: Forgot to mention pix taken with Leica CL / TL 18mm f2.8 on a very cloudy day – it's a super little.  lens and well suited for documenting cars / m/c's at classic vehicle events

It has a 1960s Vauxhall look about it.

Yes, the "look" =  'Wyvern / early Cresta - ish ..... but incorrect.

More Ford influenced than GM, however, it's an original country of origin design.

Export models fitted with Perkins and Rover diesel engines used as taxis  –  and engines fitted 'abroad'.
