XK150 perhaps? I might be completely wrong.

A lot of '50s cars had no wing mirrors, or just one. In many cases they are retro-fitted with whatever the owner fancied at the time. This is what we had to do with our MG-A, though ours were fitted on the wings rather than the doors.

It's a B 1000 or Barkas. Old GDR stuff, very reliable.
