What can you tell me about this little fellow?
Its base and what else it's made up out of will earn 1 point:

That's got to be an Austin 7 base.

Yes, I found a few things. One source I found said it was based on a 1934 Austin, but the DVLA records for that cars registration number say it's a 1935 model, so I'll go with 1935. The car was bodied in the 50's, with possibly a Austin-Nash Metropolitan roof and tail lights.

That's really about all I know too.
My source (probably the same one..) said 1934 but it's more likely the DVLA records are correct.

There was a full article on this car and its builder in one of the UK magazines some time ago.
One day I'll come across it again and post the information here.
