Difficult to be sure from the original image, but to me, it looks like it might be a Lotus 11 These have a taller "fin" behind the driver's head.

your picture shows a Lotus 11 [Lotus 17's had straight sills and flat front arches]

It's a Lotus 15 without a roll bar

The driver looks like Raymond Mays

 

My missus did that around 1960 when she was 15 years old, rode on the front of the bike for free smokes.

 

Thanks for posting the utube video of the Rocket Car. I was wondering how the restoration was coming. I saw this car years ago while it was in barn storage near Lockport.
