Pre war judging by the radioactive instruments!
I'd guess not a jag based on it using Jaeger instruments

Not sure about the instruments, but the wooden dash itself is a dead ringer for the top of the smallest of a nest of tables my grandparents used to
have (allegedly received as a wedding present in the 1930s)

Didn't Lanchester make 9mm sub-machine guns? They used to make 'em dash!
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Hmmm deffo not Jag ! 
Centre section of dash which is losing its veneer, definately a saloon and not an OTS, from between 1930's - 1950's.
Not a 'prestiege' type car as there would have been chrome bezels around the instruments and 'pulls'.
I would concur with John that its British, but more along the Austin 'type' of motor.
Sorry we couldn't be more specific.....
