The hubcaps look like cog nipple of a Kubelwagen or early postwar Beetle.

It's a Riley RMB based, with some Holden parts, realized by Ron Spearman from Broken Hills, Australia.

"It's a Riley RMB based, with some Holden parts, realized by Ron Spearman from Broken Hills, Australia."

From Australia and based on a Riley RMB, however, it contains no Holden parts that I am aware of and you've given credit to the wrong guy. Locked for you to identify the correct builder.
