What's this car, who built it and when?

Ford Specials are usually a tough nut to crack but I found it by simply Googling "Ford Special" although I still don't know who built it.
What I can add is that it is a Ford Special 1961 driven by a Mr. J. Price at Waverley Market Driving Tests in Edinburgh.
Whether Mr. Price built the car I don't know.

Yes, it's the J. Irvine Ford Special from 1961 and 1 point to Wendax.
Sorry woodinsight - you need to be on the ball though to beat Mr Wendax!

That'll teach me to be more careful in future!
Well done Wendax.
