Seems to be what we used to call an E-type Morris 8, but it's not the normal works tourer body.

Yes, that's the base car. This puzzle car was an individual build.

By an individual or by a professional coachbuilder?

I don't know for sure, but quite a bit of work was done and I guess it was professionally done.

The name of the car is 3 letters - probably the initials of the owner/instigator but it could always be a garage I suppose.
