Another mystery car

[davejf]

From seeing all the other posts and how quickly mystery cars are identified I now have one of my own to try and figure out.
Can anyone identify what car this is?
It was owned by my day in the very early 60's and from what I remember it was a Ford based special although I might have this wrong.
Any help in identifying it would be appreciated.

Have a look through the 1950's specials website, that might give a clue.

Looks like a Nickri Ford side valve special

Thank you both.
It does look very much like that.
Tried searching Ford specials on google but didn't find that.

I'm guessing Markham Peasey, but the door hinges look wrong,

Just out of idle curiosity I tweaked the image a bit.

I'm sure a seasoned professional could do a lot better.

The photographic paper is interesting (to me at least!) - almost looks like that matt finish stuff you used to get in the 70's / 80's.

Thank you Tony,
It possibly is photo paper from the 70/80's or even earlier. That photo sat on my grans dresser for many years so is probably of that sort of vintage.

This might help,
Looks very much like a Ford Falcon by Falcon Shells Ltd. Possibly based on a 1939 Ford chassis. Ktcmc were selling a very similar one in dark blue a few years ago (August 2014 Classic and Sports Car p216)
Background on Falcon here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_Shells
Looks like a 'competition' version but the only pic I have is of a MKII with hidden door hinges, the doors fold in half on the MKII but these were often kit built so no two are the same.

As I posted before I'm sure it's a Nickri, look at the door hinges and Corvette style windscreen in this photo.

Yes the red car is definitely a Nickri Spyder

[dartissimus]

The windscreen is probably a rear screen from an Anglia
