Triumph hubcaps...and swing axles and positively-cambered front wheels! Are you sure it's not a Triumph underneath? ;D

It shouldn't be, but it may well be that someone has built it up himself around Triumph parts.
My source doesn't actually say what the basis is, but there is a basis for this car and Triumph was not it as a rule.

Of course!  1961 is the date I have, though I don't know if that's the date of the car or the date of the modification..
I'm really surprised no Expert recognised this car.
