I am no expert but it appears to be a 1939 91A or E91A...the registration is a Middlesex County Council one in a series allocated to the Air Ministry, and fits in with a date of May 1939 from rego records though it could be out-of-sequence. The rego seems to suggest that this is a Ministry car not military, hence no RAF number.
I can no longer argue with David H., but my rebuttal would have been "what about the 3-ton Fordson lorry with reg.no. RMG 347?" (see above).

Edward (Ted) Angus answered that question:

Hanno its an RAF car. RAF reg numbers weren't introduced until late 1940/41, until then everything was Middlesex CC , some of these vehicles ran on these plates until post WW2 and can be found in the post war auction lists. Here are some Fordsons of a Barrage Balloon sqn near Antwerp late 1944.
