No. Not a production manufacturer.

Cannot see any V8 trumpets, so is it Holden powered?

You're right, it's not a V8, but it's not Holden powered.

Found it by chance, it's a 1970 Tornado Ford driven by John Goss at Catalina Park

That's correct, and you've answered my questions so you gain the point.

It was built in 1966 and is powered  by a 170ci 6-cylinder Falcon engine. A mould of the body was taken and used for the Turnham sports racing car which has been a previous puzzle.
