No, it's from the northern hemisphere.
That narrows it down a bit!

Right hand drive so the choice is rather limited.

Aha - the obvious question!
Yes, it is a British car that this is based on.
But the bodywork you see on the puzzle car was not made or fitted in the UK.

Of course it is!
The TC base dates from 1949 of course.
Well done.
