Not a Tornado
This is the Redex Special, a Cooper Bristol, tuned and raced by Jack Brabham in the early 1950s. The puzzle photograph was published in 1974.

....and I'm happy to award you a point for the correct answer!

Oh my God! And I knew that one! But, I said to myself, "Noooo, they wouldn't use Brabham's car. It's too well known. This car just looks like Brabham's car." :'(
I went the other way. As Brabham's modifications to the standard Cooper-Bristol were largely internal, I never thought of the Redex Special as being an Australian car so I never even considered it and went looking for an Australian-built special.
Having said that, I should still have recognised it :sigh:
I too should have recognised it, but the coil spring/wishbone suspension misled me - didn't know the RedEx hadn't the standard transverse leaf springs.
