Home-built, if by "coach-built" you mean built by a professional coachbuilder

I feel pretty unsure, if the puzzle-car was actually a home-built, or the factory demonstrator built up by Markham-Peasey Laminated Plastics Limited

Possibly: certainly one of the Ford Ten variants.
So, who is going to put together the name of the car and it's engine?

Roy Markham and Wally Peasey make the car for the Racing Car Show 1961 , but one month after this show the company was sold to Les Montgomery of Super Accessories and the Celeste was no longer made available.

I asked "Who can name this car and its engine?"

We've had a few posts identifying the car - but no mention of the engine.  So, there's a point going to whoever posts the name of the car and its engine in the same post.

That's what I was after. 
Now it's up to an Admin to merge it with the others.  (I did check but didn't find it)
