Easy  for the Rookies. Remember - this is Autopuzzles so it's not THAT easy.

Yes, it's a Triumph Herald, but there's something special about this one.

Certainly a very unusual paint job. Perhaps it's amphibious?
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

Is this one Jack Brabham sold with a 1216cc Climax engine?

. . . or a recent replica/recreation thereof.

That's right. It's a recreation of Jack Brabham's demonstrator. 

I don't think these sold all that well in period. A surfeit of power over roadholding I would have thought.
