Solved: PN #138 -- Leidart Special, 1936

I am surprised that this one has not been featured as a puzzle before, but I am also happy as my first puzzle for 2011 is exotic, extraordinary and quite nice :) So can you tell me what is this car and who built it?

1936 Leidart Special...It was built in Yorkshire, England from 1936-1938...apparently built by Colin Leith and Coddy Huddart using a Bugatti chassis and Ford V8 engine.
