Okay, just wanted to be sure!

This car was built in 1957 by James Rattenbury using a Crosley engine mated to a Harley-Davidson gearbox. The alloy body was built on a spaceframe chassis. The car later gained a Porsche engine and became known as the Rattenbury-Porsche special.
One more bad picture, the only one I have
