Villiers was quite easy I guess, as it was one of the most popular motorcycle engines. That makes finding the motorcycle make all the harder, especially as I know close to nothing about motorcycles, not to mention Swedish ones :D

Right, nailed it. It was built by one Helge Olofsson in 1953 in Sweden, with a 250 ccm Villiers engine from Rex motorcycle. The frame was wooden and the body was made of "korkmatta", which as far as I was abl to determine, is swedish for "linoleum".  don't know if it had any specific name though.
