Maybe I confused you a bit by saying 'not quite'.
You're in the right geographical area, but it's not a GM product underneath.
Much more exotic.

So, it's a British mini-coach built on a low-volume quality make chassis?

Any Martin Walter involvement?

It's a British mini coach.
It's not the chassis, but the engine that is quite obscure. (don't know the chassis builder)

Martin Walter was not involved afaik.

Hmmm, it doesn't look like steam or electric engine, Diesel was already established, Wankel not ready yet. That leaves for example a radial star engine.

It's not a radial engine, but one of those you mention.
