Not Watling (you mean British car from late 50s - early 60s?).

I'm sorry for a confusion. It is indeed Speedex Scirocco, but for a point I need a name of its builder.

Well, I give up, only approx. 20 shells were built, and I can account for maybe 4 of them, I have no idea about this though... >:(

This car (Speedex Sirocco) has been built as an individual project car by a man who later established his own company.

Yes, I saw that, but was just pointing out that technically it's a re-post as the car has featured before...

Not directly, but it appears the name of the company is combined of this man's name and surname.
