It was the only one built, but it's not a home-built effort.

No, neither the chassis nor the body builder exist any more.

I thought it was a Batten Special when I first saw the puzzle, but I guess not. On reflection it's smaller than that - is it a proposed "junior" Jensen ?

Is it the Star "McEvoy Special" bodied by the Jensen brothers?

Can I change my answer, please? It's smaller than that, so I reckon it could be a Morris McEvoy Special. Probably based on a Family 8.

No, nothing to do with McEvoy, but you're right that it was bodied by Jensen.
