Yes, it's based on a Triumph.
Not a Wolseley Special.

Not that either.
As clue - the car was built in Sidney, British Columbia in the late 1950s/early 1960s

The body may have been sourced from/inspired by Bill Sadler's cars and I don't know the engine that powers it at the moment (my source is in store at the moment).
The name of the car/builder is six letters.
