1 point for identifying this car and from when it dates:

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

The Tripos images I can find, include a windshield frame molded into the body, not bolted on as in the puzzle car.

And the hood of each Tripos I find, has lower seams on each side.

It's neither a Tripos nor Front Wheel Drive.

You've got the car.
In fact Les Montgomery came up with the idea of combining the Bowden chassis made by Bowden Engineering for the 1172cc Ford engine with an extended version of the Hamblin Cadet body made by Syd Hamblin thus creating the Ford Montgomery Super 2 Special, which was available from 1960 to 1962.
