It has a specially built chassis and the engine is not British by way of a small hint......

Okay, time for another clue on this Singaporean single seater with a non-British engine.
I've decided to award two points - one for guessing the year and the engine make (it's an 1100cc) and the second for what the car was named.

Fiat engine is correct but the year is slightly out.

Yes! - another point for you.

For the remaining point I need the name of this car - (something) Special, a Singaporean Fiat 1100-engined single seater built in 1952.

Final clue - xx Special 1952 (x's equal the missing letters - both the same letter - e.g. BB Special but not that of course!)

Good guess but no - it's in the wrong half of the alphabet (just!)
