Raced in the early '60s, so I assume it was built around that time

Recap: Powered by a 6 cylinder Jaguar motor; shown at a U.K. autocross event in the early 1960s.

New "freebie" hint: Based on an unorthodox donor chassis.

VW?

No, much more unorthodox than that

Not based on a passenger car

Rear wheel steering. Is the chassis from what we call in the UK a dump truck?

Good eye! Not a dump truck, however.

Unlikely as it sounds, a fork lift truck ?
