Yes, a V8-engined Buckler MkV it is, but this one particular car is the ******-Buckler Special Mk V.
Locked for you to fill in the blanks!

Having looked into it a bit more ,not really convinced it was  V8 powered as it still has the lightweight 8 / 10hp "small" Ford wheels as opposed to the heavier '36/'39 US Ford/ pilot rims.
Have seen it referred as "GFV 20" mkv  ?

That's the car!  I was wrong about the name - I had misunderstood something.
It's supposed to have a US Ford side-valve V8, but that's all I know.
Well done!
