This is the 1957 Triden, made by Ron Tonkin. It has a Triumph Renown chassis, and a Holden grey motor, as well as gearbox and diff.

That is indeed the car, although some of the facts you quote differ from what I have.

For the point I need to know:

Who originally built the car and when (not 1957)?
When was it re-bodied by Ron Tonkin?
What chassis is the car based on (not a Renown)?

Locked for you to dig deep!!

It depends on which source of info you go on. I took everything from the information on this attached image. The original builder was Graham Driscoll in 1956. All agree that it's a 1949 Triumph chassis, but a 2000 not a Renown. I think a Renown would be more likely, as they were a more common car than the 2000 in Australia. It was re-bodied in 1959?

Looks like a magazine article and of course mags are notorious for getting things wrong..
Below is the info as I have it but frankly I don't know who is right and who's wrong!
The stories only differ in minor details though so the point is yours and this is solved.
I'll have to merge it with the original puzzle from the Stone Age though!

The Triden is an Aussie Special built in 1956 by Graham Driscoll using a chassis and running gear from a 1949 Triumph 2000 roadster with motor, gearbox and diff by Holden. Fibreglass body was fitted in 1959 by Ron Tonkin and has been raced at Mallala and Collingrove. Restored in 2000 and recently registered (conditional/club). Photo from Winton Festival of Speed, August 2011.
