Len Moir's Renault 750-based "Italian school" special. The car was produced in small numbers by J&S for whom Moir went on to design a string of classic specials.
This car was built in 1959. Renault 750 was better known as 4CV.

Thing is I recognized the car, but had to run to perform a baby-bathing. So I just typed in enough info to lock the topic 'til I get back :)

Congrats! It seems You know much more about this car than I do. According to my source this car is Len Moir's Fiat 750 special with a bodywork built by J&S, but no poduction is reported.

I believe the wheels are Renault, and it is rear-engined just like 4CV... Was it reported as both Fiat and Renault?

No, the book Great Australian Sports Cars and Specials mentions only Renault
