For one point: Who built this, and what is it?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

What this is seems obvious (of course this is AutoPuzzles), a child's pedal car made of formed plywood and small diameter bicycle wheels (and perhaps bicycle pedals and chain).  I have no idea who made it.

Gravity - no; pedals - yes.

I may have found something.  While researching Mini information for another puzzle, I came across a blog with this exact picture in it.  It is a child's pedal car made from the bits of a couple of bicycles, and plywood.  The picture caption doesn't give the builder's full name, but refers to him only as: Terry.  However, the name at the top of the blog (which contains information on several homebuilt projects) is Terry Lyttle.  I'll guess that the builder and the blogger might be the same person, and suggest that the name of the builder of the puzzle car might be: Terry Lyttle.
