Does it bear any resemblance to the car it is supposed to be modelling?
Excellent question. I believe this model was sculpted by the car's builder and may have served a purpose in the car's creation. Based on that, I think it probably resembles the actual car.

Does it mean you have never seen the actual car ?

Does it mean the "actual" car actually never existed ?

It existed, but I've never seen a photo of it.

Was the actual car raced in South Africa during the fifties ?

Raced in South Africa, but not during the 1950s.
