I am surprised no one has asked what happened to it! Looks as if dropped from a height? And it is on an airfield....
You called it just right (see bottom of page)http://www.theaccelerationarchive.co.uk/dennis/pri...

Looks like a Bristol to me
Definitely not a Bristol - you won't fit a spare wheel into that space, and it just looks like a grotty swage (perhaps it was painted white without stripping trim, which fell off in the "landing"?) not a hinge.B'sides, the only four-door Bristol was the 405.
I think Magnette might well be the right answer.
See where the rear door shut goes all the way to the arch, no dogleg visible? That's the same as on the dropped car. The trim strip on the arch suggests MG rather than Wolseley.

It seems to have a fin-wing at the back conataining the rear lights, and just below the front styling line is a trafficator - one of those semaphore jobs like the Minor had in the B-pillar.
That's no Magnette IMHO.
PS "my eyes are weak..." that's not an indicator, just a bent piece of chrome strip. Doh!

My first thought too; but the Jensen is a two-door and its bodywork is glass-fibre.Magnette ZA I think, though the very rear of the rear wing looks wrong.
