The background to the picture doesn't suggest the UK, neither does the left-hand-drive tow car, so is it a home-built Brit that lived in the USA, or was the whole thing cobbled up in the USA?

Since it is RHD, was it based on an MG TC Midget?

So, based on a TD but why a RHD one?

Could it be the Swiss Cheese Special?

Based on a 1950 TD, modified in 1953 by Peter and Jack Anderson.

And the tow car is a modified MG TF "Pickup" according to the site I found it on.
