Not exactly that, but the name consists of 3 letters which could well be the initials of either one or three builders.

Very well solved TT. You've provided all I wanted to know and the point is yours.

I searched the net for more information on this car, but found absolutely nothing. I assume that it's yet another nicely built Australasian special, probably powered by a fairly mundane motor.
