It's a replica of an Oldsmobile Curved Dash, bit not actually an Oldsmobile.

The REO on the left was the inspiration for the Puzzle car...

Could it be Eric Rainsford's Oldsmobile Curved Dash (REO) Replica circa 2000, Northern Ireland?

No, it's not that, but you are on the right lines as it is a more modern replica.

"Oldmobile" replica is powered by the engine of a Citroen 2CV and was built by the late John Montgomery?

Very good sleuthing, as this is indeed the 2CV-based 1904 Oldsmobile/Reo replica, built c.1997 by the ex-P&O car ferry chief engineering John Montgomery (now sadly deceased). Another point to you (your 900th; very well done), and here's a colour photo of the car...
