Identify this car correctly for 1 point:

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

Have fun!

It's from Australia and sure looks like a Buchanan body was used.
So it's a start!

I'll post the reply, since SACO was right:

Wal Anderson Buchanan Repco-Holden special built 1957 in QLD by Wal Anderson.  Raced by Wal Anderson 1957-58. Owned by Greg Smith in Melbourne,  discovered the remains under a MGTF special, original body has since been located along with all the missing bits and these have all been authenticated by Wal's son who worked on and drove the car and now lives in Melbourne. Built on a Lotus MK6 replica chassis built by Stan Brown and Alex Strachan in Sydney

(I had the answer ready, but SACO beat me to it for few minutes!)

It wasn't locked as the Buchanan bit was obvious for a Professional and I was looking for all the details, which PJ has provided so it's a point for him!

Well done.
