What is this car and who built it ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

This looks like the Australian Cutten Special, made around 2005, which I stumbled across by chance recently while researching one of the other many recent Antipodean puzzle vehicles!
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

You and me both! Just about every puzzle of mine of recent weeks has been sourced from a veritable mine of Australasian homebuilts. Once you dig into one puzzle, you find a dozen more.

Of course you're right.  It was based on an AC chassis, presumably a pre-war 16/80 and built by Keith Cutten. It raced in the 1954 NZGP at Ardmore.

And for some reason, Cutten copied the colour scheme of Caracciola's Mille Miglia winning Mercedes.
