No. It's named after its owner/builder.

This is a cutting from a larger photo.  It is not the only car in the original image. I have seen other photos of the car in period but they were of even worse quality.

I think it probably would. The car was well-known in period in a certain part of the UK.

Not Snetterton.

It IS Davidstow. However, the puzzle car is not the Leston Special.
