Yes, I think the bonnet/hood is a one-piece, but not sure if this was offered as a kit.

Correct!  To complete the answer and gain the point, do you know who built it?  Locked to you until your next reply.

well it is listed as being prototype number 1 - so I would guess Gideon de Lautour and whoever wrote the page on the website (they refer to themselves as I throughout the history page).

Incidentally there is another picture on the site which I am sure I have seen here somewhere else....

I'll keep this locked to you Giles for now, but unfortunately Gideon de Lautour is not the name I am looking for.  So, another try...

Well the only other names I can find are:

Anthony and Joanne Butler

If it isn't correct then open it back for anyone to try.

Oophs, thanks for the prompt Giles as I had missed this one!  Butler is not the name I seek, so now opened back up to all-comers.

I was going to move this puzzle up to the Pros, but looking back at Giles Cooper's previous responses, I have decided to award him the point as his answers were close enough.  This particular example is a Taylor-built Cheetah; made in New Zealand and based on a Holden HQ.
