You're on to the right car there I think!
Give me all the rest of the details requested (incl what the owner pictured in the car called it) and the point is yours.
Locked for you in the meantime.

That's what the owner of the car pictured called it, yes.
But to complete the answers to the quesitons posed - who built them?
Still locked for you.
