No, nothing to do with John Crossle (hint - wrong half of the alphabet)

Is this anything to do with the McEvoy Specials?

Yes indeed!
It is a McEvoy Special based on a Morris of the early 1930s.
Another point for you.

The "Irish" bit had me confused - McEvoys were based in Derby. Since they were the UK agents for Zoller, I suppose Mr. Laird was a sort of sub-agent for Ireland.
