Not Paul. The site that listed the car still has it up. Not sure if it is still currently for sale, or if they forgot to take it down.

Still locked for you.

No - I won't unlock it!  :D

If you Google the last name of the builder you recently found, the engine, and the chassis, the very first page of results points me at the solution.

Gosh! A ghost told me that this is a VW A BMC hillclimb racer built by Max Jackman in 1960.
The 720kg light car is equipped with a tuned B.M.C. 1800cc engine which develops 100HP at 7500/min. The car runs up to 125 mph.

A couple more pictures.
The car was apparently registered in Victoria.
