It's not this car, but is it another Elva?

Another shot in the dark: Is it a Bobsy?  An SR-2 or 3?
The problem with race cars is that they seldom stay original.

Not a Bobsy, so you can keep shooting in the dark.

Very, very close, but not quite the full description I have.  Locked to you for 24hours will I go away and have a think about this one!

Do you mean it's a Dison Type-something else?
It's not easy to find much out about Dison..
As far as I can ascertain this is the only car they ever made, and just one example of it!
It was called the Type 64 because that's when it was made - 1964!

Yes, that 's what I mean, as it is a Dison, but I have this model under a different name.  I'll keep it locked for you.

Can't really find much else out.
The car was made by Ecclestone Bros of Stoke on Trent, actually in 1963 rather than '64, so maybe it was a Type 63?!
As far as I know this is the only car they made...

If it wasn't a Type 63 how about a Type 66 then?
I'm fast running out of years but must be close?!

That's more like it.  Well done, as it is the Dison Formula 1200 Type 66.
