For 1 point I need to know what this car is, what chassis it used and what was its engine?

Google Search by Image 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 Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Is it a British one-off (as it sure looks like one!)?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

I came across this one when I was searching for your previous Ford Special...... :P

I believe this is an Austin Ford Special - 1935 Austin chassis with a Ford engine.
Builder unknown.

Indeed so.  It has an 1172 cc Ford sidevalve engine.
Well done.
