Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the name of this car, and what it was made from.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

It is indeed a Shelsley special, and it is built on a GN chassis, so you get a lock  to find its name.

Yes. The name comes from the fact that it uses a 1928 1900cc BAC motorcycle engine, coupled to an Austin 7 gearbox. Well done!
