Right hand drive.  Although it doesn't look it, is it British?

Nothing to do with Kleinschnittger.
It is in fact British, hence nothing to do with Holden either.

1958 proposal for the Daimler DN250. It would have been a replacement for their Conquest model, and based on the contemporary Vauxhall PA Cresta.

Yes it is.  You certainly have a remarkable knack of finding the very obscure.
Locked for you to answer the remaining question asked.

The designer's name was Jack Wickes.

Some of them I know, or think I have an idea about . . . . many more, I have no clue. I am blessed with a large reference library and a good memory, but even so, there are quite a few puzzle cars I have chased by starting out on the wrong foot and going rapidly downhill from there. What I find even more amazing is where you veteran puzzle posters manage to find these cars. Keep it up, by the way.

That's the guy!
Well done.  I knew nothing at all about this (apart from the Vauxhall-based creation in another puzzle of mine about a year ago which tried to realise it as it would have looked) until I read up about it on finding the sketch.  Interesting what might have been!
