This looks like Ted Whiteford's Ford V8 Special on a Fiat 501 chassis; yet another rather nice racing special from Australia.

Indeed it is. Built by Harry Firth at Arrow Speed Motors, and sometimes referred to as the ASM Special. Makes you wonder just how many cars Firth built - his name is alway cropping up.
