I believe this is a Ockelbo Special, a fibreglass copy of a Ferrari 500 Mondial made in the 1950´s by Erik Lundgren. Lundgren was a racing driver with quite a reputation. Ockelbo is a small village in Värmland i Sweden, and the company later became well known for fiberglass sport boats and snowmobiles.

The Bandini was originally powered by a Crosley engine, which was substituted by a Mercury outboard engine. The source is not quite clear whether it still has the Mercury engine or the Crosley engine again.

Crosley is right, according to my source it currently has the 750 cc Crosley engine. Point for you

The title is a bit misleading. The Bandini was from 1951, but the Devon body was fitted in 1957.
