Seen this before?

If not, wait for someone else to guess it. Then they'll get 1 point!  ;D

Good luck!

Not a Kellison J3, you're thinking too common.

Completely forgot I had threads in here, sorry.

I'm currently not with my records, but I do believe that this vehicle has a definite Australia connection, however I can't be sure what it is until I get back to my information...

Someone may even get it right and I can't even remember the name right now!  ;D

I thought this one had been solved a long time ago, but clearly not, so hopefully I might be able to solve it now after two years puzzling people.

It is the Sabrina Austin Special, built in 1959 in Victoria, Australia, using a straight-six Austin Healey engine.

I'll try and dig out a front view photo when I get home at the weekend.

Well done, 2 well deserved points. I do have more pictures, but not currently available because my regular computer is out of commission. The car is quite often tracked at various classic events in Australia, the photo I posted I took at Historic Sandown.
