The car is one of the Badge engineered BMC farinas = in the Riley or Wolsely guise - pre 1963 due to the plate but post '58 or '59, upturned rear 'fins' indicate an early model as later styling reduced their emphasis. My grandfather had the Austin Cambridge version new in c1962 I think - just pre start of the A reg platesIt looks to be missing its rear bumper, so maybe not so new or pristine. The number plate dates the car from before 1963 when A -suffix reg plates came in.
Also, what wording appears above the red circle on the opposite gates? Does it normally say something like "Stop and listen", or does it usually give the location? It looks as though there are three words written there, and could start with a P, which strengthens the Pond Head Lane theory.

Not that this helps that much with the location!
