what is it?

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

Feels like a modified saloon but not a Singer... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/European-Vin ... 4902.l9144

That body is very British in style, but the registration number is definitely French. The front valence is probably the best identifying feature, and my guess is that it's a Salmson S4C. Most survivors seem to be missing the valence - presumably the dynamo is troublesome! - but I did find this picture which looks to have a very similar panel.

So maybe a British Salmson 12/55 or 12/70, which carried a similar body style as a standard model, or a French Salmson S4C with a very British style of body.
1914 Saxon Model A; 1930 Morris Cowley; 1931 Austin Seven; 1953 Lancia Appia; 1967 Singer Chamois

Two photos of the car on eBay note the front valence is similar to the saloon.
Obviously not a Singer.
