Are you there Oswald?
I noticed you were on site yesterday but does this one have you stumped?
You've nearly answered all that's necessary for the point, as I don't know who was responsible for it; I just want what it is and when it's from.

Sorry, got carried away.
But, hmmm, not easy.
There's nothing like it in Bill Emeyson's book.
It could be an Elliot, Westland even a Duncan.
So it's probably a special bodied roadster, maybe by a privateer?

That's right, it is.
If you can find when it dates from you've earned a point..

I couldn't find anything else out.

In the meantime here's a front view:
