Dellow was a niche automobile company near Birmingham, England, in business between 1950 and 1957. The ads above show the final model, all the images I see are of the earlier vertical grill and separate fenders-type bodies. The cars were originally based on a Austin Seven chassis and were intended as a competitive trials car or sporty little road car. The Austin Seven-based cars were not strong enough for the rough world of trials and there was soon a new chassis with 1200 cc Ford engine and Ford axles, each car produced was different than the one before as improvements were incorporated.

Note the independent front suspension on the trials car; both the Ford and the Austin would've had a solid front axle originally, so it may be of Dellow's own manufacture. D.
That apparently, was one of their developments.
Here it is, 8 - 10 Lordship Lane... Streets are so boring now. https://maps.app.goo.gl/q2JxTXc3W3vfQSdZ7
The dealer at 33 E Dulwich Rd, London is also changed, not for the better.:-)
