No, but I have a suspicion that it originated there before it was modified/re-engined.

Not Australian - it's European and quite close to the UK

OK, since everyone is shy to answer this ( :p ), it's an Amal Special from the Netherlands. Hard to read Dutch, but guess it is DKW engined and comes from 1958.

It sure is!
I'm also sure it's the same car in a later configuration as one of my unsolved puzzles with a different name and engine.
Anyway a good point for you.

Why do I always forget to look first of all at THAT source when you post puzzles like that?
It's not the first time you took from that book, right?  :shiner:
