Looks a bit like an Alice-Cooper.

It's not a Bangert or anything to do with Alice Cooper.

Not a Skoda, and as far as I know it's got nothing to do with Eastern Europe.

I don't know a great deal about this car, only it's name and location at the time the picture was taken.

I don't think it is a Belgian plate.

Where the photo was taken is a very long way from Belgium.

Not a Mistral.

Its engine is from a very well known manufacturer, and the car, I assume is a one off special named after it's builder.

Them Zealanders like their big Chevy motors. Is it a Chevrolet V8 - perhaps from a Corvette?

Quite a tall engine, from the box on the bonnet, but as that box has no air intake it's probably not the Bristol engine that I normally associate with being tall.
Possibly an XK Jaguar engine - the wheels look a bit like Jag wheels.

"Phone-a-friend" time (well, e-mail)!

Bagnall-Jaguar

"always a scrffy beast" according to the friend that I asked!

He also said it was at Houghton Bay hillclimb, Wellington, 4 April 1964
