Is it a race car converted to road use ?

This car is described as a 1936 MG Midget TA Special, although it only uses the chassis of that car.
It was built in the 1960s, using a Ford 1172 engine mated to 'an unidentified flu-speed gearbox'. It comes with aluminum body over a steel frame.

Sorry for lack of reply; I've been away for a few days with no computer access.

That's exactly it!
I thought this one might give a few more headaches (especially if you stared at it for long enough!) but it's easily solved..
Well done.

Somehow it reminds me of The Munster's coach!
