I have it down as 1952, but we're obviously talking about the same car here. I'll hold the point for you - could you give me the name of the man responsible for this monster?

Would I be right in thinking thats an aeroplane engine in the car?
If so i'll make a guess at the Swandean Spitfire Special.

Correct!
...this is indeed the Swandean Spitfire Special, by Mr Michael Wilcock.
Quite different nowadays?
