Solved - NEH 1816: Ulva's home-built car from Stewart Is. - NZ's third island

I don't know too much about this car but if you can tell me whose it is and where it's domiciled (and was built?) a point is yours:

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.

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

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!

where would we be without 'Browsing History'!, it was only a couple of weeks ago that I was reading about Stewart Island and I came across an article which included your picture, not much is mentioned of the car though only that it was built by Ulva Goodwillie, a local Maori guide.

found another picture though;

That's it!  And I thought this one would be really tricky to solve!
Well done.
