Seems a bit unlikely, but it looks like a JWF Milano GT.

It's not a JWF Milano GT, but you are on the right track...

I'm pretty sure it's not a Bolwell. Is this a one-off ?

You are right, it's not a Bolwell, but to be honest, I'm not 100% certain if it is a one-off or not, although I suspect the latter.

I have found reference to Jack Ayres building a coupe after he had constructed the Repco Special. Is this it?

Djetset - please ignore the above post, it doesn't Matra any more. The coupe has been a recent puzzle of Carnut, and is clearly not the same car.

To quote Anthony Aloysius Hancock - "the man's a buffoon".

I shall continue to delve...........

I have now trawled through every page on a certain site which would discuss Australian cars of this period - zilch.

I'm sure this must be a one-off rather than a limited production road car. Does the name Peter Toohey have a connection?

Sorry, but no Toohey or Repco Special connections that I know of.  I am far away from home at the moment, but I will double-check again on my source once back there mid-week re it being a one-off or not.
