Yep, an easy one . . . c'mon, rookies!!! It's a 1958 LaDawri Quest QT. The fiberglass body was made to fit most MG chassis.

Interesting choice of windscreen - Vauxhall Victor. Presumably because the company was originally based in British Columbia, and Vauxhalls were regularly available there.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Quest QT is what I was after (I think it's been puzzled before as a La Dawri..)
MGA base as you say.

I believe one of the larger LaDawri bodies called for a windshield from a Chevy Pickup truck!
