Solved - MJW #841 - Cygnet 1955/1960? by William Johnstone

What was this little car called?
Who built it, where, when, what chassis did it use and what engine was fitted?
Sounds a lot for just one point but you either know it or you don't!

It's that Ford Prefect grille that gives it away.
Does it have an 1172 cc Ford sidevalve engine?

No Ford parts as far as I know but I can tell you that the chassis and engine came from two different well-known makes of car!

Another clue - the car comes from an island off the British coast and the builder constructed tractors on an amateur basis for sale to local farmers in the 1930s.....
