That really is lovely.  8)   I know you said 'not from Britain', but aren't those Ford Prefect/Pop wheels?

No, I said this car wasn't built in Britain, which it wasn't!
There are Ford E93A parts in it though, incl the wheels.

Was the body made by a kit-car maker from New Zealand, or was it a one-off?

The Wrightson Special. It was built in the the early 60's in  Taumarunui, New Zealand using Ford 10 running gear, a space frame & a Ferris deJoux Buckler body.
