I think I saw the picture when I was hunting information about the Doninzo-Ford. Is it a South American car for Formula Libre?

Then I saw it perhaps when looking for AFM information. Is it German early post-war?

Is it Amilcar C6-related?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Not british, not Amilcar - related.

EDIT: the chassis and basis car is not british, but the body is a british conversion.

A bit of a wild guess but is it a rebodied Bugatti?
