It looks like a Triumph GT6R. Though, it's neither an american car, nor a special. It has a hole in the bonnet, which wasn't there in an original model, so it means that some significant engine modification had been done, or even an engine swap...
I hadn't found any photo of an GT6R with engine swapped, however, i probably found an answer. It's Sammio Alpha A1, a body replacement kit for a GT6, although it also may fit a similar dimensioned car. I guess, it's wrapped around an Triumph GT6 ( let it be mk 3) or a Spitfire.

There's nothing European about it, and it definitely has no connections to a Triumph GT6 nor Sammio.

Need to find something to go on, so lets stay with the engine ... is it a little Crosley?

You're there. LOCKED for tobytwirl. Just give me the name of the car, presumably its builder.

It is the Shaffner Crosley Special, a 1960s h-mod hill climb car.

That's the one. I knew you'd find it. Goodness knows how many H-mod cars there were back in those days - I expect they are all there in that book about American sports cars in the 50s and 60s which costs too much for my pocket.

and mine .... but h-mods were so creative, and must have kept Mr Crosley in business.
