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.

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