I agree with Australia or somewhere overseas with RHD, given the verandahs and the headwear.
Maybe an Australian bodied Ace ? See https://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/austin-ace.htm
The later oldclassiccar pictures are of an aluminium tailed Austin Standard Sports body (built by Floods) not Ace. My car has a single screen but apparently this was to the customers taste and another similar Club car has a split screen.
The car under discussion could also be a special, with the windscreen strangely shaped to emulate a split screen. The steering wheel doesn't look to have a raked steering box as fitted to a number io Australian sports cars. Are the open centre wheels later 7" with the chrome piece removed ?
Don't you just love that hat
