Also too early for Van Diemen I guess?

The puzzle car dates from 1954.
The race car manufacturer of the same name dates from 1959 although they did produce a different type of car in the earlier 1950s.....
Confusing perhaps but the clues are there.

The make is more on a par with Reynard or Van Diemen.....
