The chassis members under the engine might be Austin 7.
Re the dipstick.
It looks like an A series engine Austin A 30, A 35, Austin Healey Sprite maybe, if you want to look these up.
(Probably not these, if it really is an 1100 cc engine, though)
Somebody must know what it is, from that engine number.
It won't be critical about the level of oil in it.
I would cut the bottom of the dipstick off, until it sits where you want it to.
My A7 runs with about 65mm of oil when full.
It is many years since I worked on an A35 engine, I would guess that the sump is deeper that the A7, so would run with 75mm of oil and mark the dipstick to suit.
At least that will start you off.
Better still, identify the engine, contact the relevant car club, see if they can find you a correct dipstick.
