I believe it's based on a Ford 10 chassis but it doesn't have a Ford engine..

I believe I have misled you here, sorry.
It does in fact have a modified Ford 10 engine..

I agree. That's why I think I've seen it before - it's bugging me.

Is this the Ford Special built by David H. Small in 1950 using parts from a 1947 E93A Ford Prefect?

Indeed it is!
The magazine was only very recent so I'm surprised this one got through to the Pros.
It featured the Ford sidevalve engine with an Aquaplane head.
Well done!
