Was this car based on another car brand or was it the builder,s  own original design?

It was built on an existing chassis and used existing mechanical components, but as far as I'm aware, the body and design were original.

Is it based on a car from the 1960s?

It is the Cobra! I know your source, which identifies Theo Dodunskie as the builder, but I have a more reliable source which states otherwise. Locked for you to identify this builder.

Ok, but I've given you a point for finding and identifying the car.

Unlocked!

Another source says: The Cobra was built by Theo Dodunski (Panel Beater) and John Lambie (Local Farmer and Engineer), Over a Riley chassis with a Vauxhall engine.
