Is it a homebuilt British trials car on an 1172cc Ford chassis?

Not based on an Austin Seven, but Ford-Ten-engined.

Looks more like an Austin Eight chassis and front wheel, or perhaps a Hillman.
As all the trials cars I remember had transverse front springing I can't even guess a name - unless it's an early Chandler.

The only other trials car I've heard of is a Dellow.

No Austin or Hillman chassis, not a Chandler.

Is it necessarily a trials car, it looks far too smart?

The wide-rim wheels at the back suggest the sixties. Is this the correct era?

A local chap, called H. Tucker-Peake, had a trials car he built himself and if I could find a photo of it I'd know if this one is it or not.
Is it?
