Whilst Shamrock is searching I'll move this up and see if any of the pros have the information closer to hand...

Yes, modified in England. No idea what the badge on the pillar is but I seriously doubt there is any Farina connection!!

Yes, just a DIY project by one guy. Featured in a magazine in period, I found this on the 'net though, so it IS out there
