The car looks American but also has European bits. So I guess a British car with an American engine, late fifties ?

I suppose it's Austin-Healey 3000 based.  Even if I should be right, don't lock for me because I've no clue.

Yes, British car with American engine but earlier than late fifties.

Must be a 100/4 then. Following this lead I came across the puzzle car, it is indeed a 1954 Austin-Healey 100/4 with a 245 bhp Chevrolet engine
