Solved - MJW #1018 - Platypus-Porsche 1964 (original configuration)

[woodinsight]

This is not really a repost. The car was posted before but in a different configuration.
I'll merge them once it's solved.

For one point identify the make, year and the make of engine that was fitted.

Which one are you putting forward as the correct solution Valkyrie?

I am putting the 1964 Platypus-Porsche, as the answer to the puzzle MJW #1018. I am putting the Ford P68 towards your profile picture car.

Well done - it is the Platypus that earns you a point and you are correct that the Ford P68 is my current avatar!

Thank you.

Just to keep the record straight - this is the same basic car as Tifosi's puzzle #61 when it was fitted with an Oldsmobile power unit and a Lotus 19 body.
As both puzzles are quite different I'll keep them separate rather than merging them.
Note that I've added (original configuration) to the title of this one.
