It's not the answer I was looking for but you might be right that it's a Buckler.
Can you send me some proof via PM?
I'll keep it locked for you in the meantime.

Yes (if it's not one it's usually the other!)

It's Dennis King in a car he built from his Ford Y-model, at a grasstrack meeting in 1954.

(I've spent hours looking through all Ford Specials in NZ which took part in road races, and this cropped up when I was looking for a car built by Noel Ching. Luck rears its happy head yet again!)

Two points and a lock I probably will have to have lifted. By Pro standards that's a pretty good day!
