Sorry about the poor quality of the picture but it's all I could find.
What is it and who built it, for 1 point?:

I don't actually know what it's based on or what engine it has.
All I know is what it's called and who built it.

It is the Ferguson Special built by Ross Ferguson. He also built a 2/3 scale Spitfire airplane.

Very impressive - you've found it!
I know that's what it says it is on that site but it's also pictured on another site (where my puzzle picture came from) where it actually says what Ross Ferguson himself calls it; not Ferguson Special but Ferguson ****** ****** (don't count the stars!).
Locked for you to find it.

Exactly!
Apparently scratch-built by Ross Ferguson; it looks to be a very nice job and it's a pity there aren't more and better pictures of it on the Web.
