Or perhaps a Lister-Bristol circa 1955?

Not the name I have, but a part of your answer is correct.
Inline 6-cylinder engine?
yes! (as far as I understand), but was later changed for another motor.

You hadn't previously said which part of his answer was correct. You still haven't ;)

But you should know which part is correct after my reply!? Only wanted to give another clue.

It's not a Jewitt Holden, but it was first equipped with a Holden motor. Later it got a rather plain engine, quite exotic for cars of that kind.
