Slightly interesting old car in shed... what is it?

[RogerVulva]

I'm far from an expert in older cars and just thought this one seemed rather cool and interesting.
It's probably an easy question but what is it?
I was slightly trespassing at the time so only a couple of quick snaps on the run.

Oh I think I've just worked it out. Model A Ford?
I was hoping it was going to be something weird and French.

Thoughts on the overhanging piece at the rear? Extra fuel tank?
I can't seem to find a photo of another vehicle with that.

Also where would the spare wheel be mounted on this car?

Cheers for the info.
Mods feel free to move this to a more applicable area if required.

Hmm, RHD, in a barn?? looks like somebodies workshop/open garage, tracked vehicle at the side there, what country??

It was in NZ. In an area with French heritage which could explain the text on the side.

Off topic if anyone goes for a trip to NZ, check out Highlands Motorsport Park.

I walked into the museum there and the first 5 cars I spotted were an Enzo, a MSC Benetton and 3 Merc SLR Stirling Moss specials. Then had a NZV8 driver fang us around the track in a Cayenne and after that beat my mate around the go kart track. It was a top day!

Oh yes those wheels are bang on. Interesting. I bet she's had an interesting life.
