Ockelbo-Volvo Sports Racer built in 1953. It has an Austin-Healy 100 Chassis, 2-liter Volvo B18B engine, 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. It produces 140 hp.

I was just going to put up a puzzle using this car...

Indeed it is, a point for you !

..then it would be a re-post!

I don't believe it is a re-post. We had the Ockelbo before and it was solved as a Ockelbo with Austin-Healey engine. My puzzle car has a Austin-Healey chassis and Volvo engine as Avalanche mentioned and a (slightly) different body. Several Ockelbo's have been made, all a bit different. The puzzle car was found in a shed a couple of years ago with the Healey chassis and Volvo engine but with a modified body. The guy from Belgium who restored the car found the right body elsewhere (in Holland) and restored it to its present condition. I enclose some more pics.

All right, the engine is different though it's still basically very similar.
Let's just provide a link to the original Ockelbo puzzle unless anyone objects:

I agree it's similar but isn't that the same with some Alfa's or Ferrari's ? Just take your recent puzzle of the Alfa 1900 CSS

Yes, so we'll leave it as a separate puzzle.
Often with very low-production cars there aren't two the same so they can be posted as different puzzles; I've done it many times!

 I have seen this very car in action just last weekend - it sounded really good and looks so classic and sleek - I really liked it!
