It reminds me of that strange Ferrari Inter.
Is it another Abbott design?

It does a bit, yes, but it's not by Abbott.

Is this seemingly 1930s design actually a more modern car built on a 1950s/60s base ?

What I can see of the base reminds me of my Triumph TR3A from the early 1960's, except for the curved windshield.  Perhaps the base is a Triumph TR4 or TR4A from the mid, or later, 60's?
