I must have been desperately short of puzzles when I selected this subject - I don't know much about it at all.

It's definitely British, and indeed based on a 4-cylinder car. I don't know exactly when it was built, but I think it may be even later than you suggest.

Yes! It's based on a donor car from 1968. although quite why anyone thinks it resembles a pre-war Alfa is beyond me. Maybe a little bit of Bi-Motore in the side sponsons.

Another point to you. Getting perilously close to Pro status!

A little too close for confort.. I don't know what to do.
