Yes it is.
Locked for you to give the builder's full name, when this was built and a few more details of the engine..

According to a SiteRecentlyNoted ( ;D):

One-off 1965 Canadian Sports Racer, built and raced by Vince Murray. This is the 4 cylinder sister car to the Polivka 6 cylinder Outboard Special.
 (...) Powered by a 1000cc Mercury 650 Panther two-stroke engine with a centrifugal clutch and sequential shift via a Triumph motorcycle gearbox."

Quite so!
Apparently the car was crashed in 1970 and this original body was completely destroyed; it has now been replaced with a different body.
Well done!
