Based on a small Ford, variously called "Eight," "Ten," "Anglia" depending on the sales people's whim.
'"Brakevan" conversion by Freddie Richmond (Lord March).

No, I'm afraid it's not a Ford. I know the Ford 'Brakevan' you are referring to very well and have driven it a few times at Goodwood, as it now belongs to Freddie Richmond's grandson; the Duke of Richmond and Gordon.

There is a Willys connection, but it's not a 77.

This is the station wagon Noddy had built after he got married and had 4 children (I know, I was as amazed as you

). It was constructed on the original Noddy car chassis by Tyndall, Wienk, Brooks and Lee Coachbuilders, formerly Tyndall, Wienk, Brooks and Lee, Book Illustrators. Noddy's purchase of the station wagon spelt the end of his outlaw speeding days and Mr Plod the policeman was retrenched because he no longer brought in any fines.

There’s a Chevrolet connection, but not from 1938 and not from Uruguay.

Post-war Jeep/Vauxhall mashup?

Djetset · « **Reply #17 on:** June 18, 2020, 05:46:04 PM »

The Jeep parts are Jeep, but the none-Jeep bits are not Vauxhall.

Are they, in fact, Chevy parts?

Djetset · « **Reply #19 on:** June 18, 2020, 06:06:16 PM »

Yes, the none-Jeep bits are Chevrolet, so now Locked to you to correctly identify the year of the Chevy bits, but more importantly, the name of this machine’s creator.

1937 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery (shortened and mounted onto Jeep chassis)?

Djetset · « **Reply #21 on:** June 18, 2020, 07:26:07 PM »

Yes, the body base is a chopped and changed 1937 Chevrolet, so the Lock now remains for you to finish this Puzzle off with the creator’s name.

Djetset · « **Reply #22 on:** June 20, 2020, 05:14:54 PM »

24 hours of Lock remaining.

gte4289 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 20, 2020, 11:45:46 PM »

Sorry, I've been tied up. Please feel free to unlock.

Djetset · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2020, 06:18:38 AM »

I’ll keep it Locked to GTE until 10pm (22:00) GMT tonight.
