The front end looks like it may have late 1940s Studebaker origins? (Hey, we gotta start somewhere!)

Not Studebaker origins !  :)

Is this a home-built one-off or a prototype made by a known 'special' builder?

It's all a bit odd - the front end of a Hillman Minx, and the rear end of a Cooper T4 sports car. I have no idea, but I have a suspicion about the origins of the puzzle photo.  ;D

It's a " kit car "
Title: Re: SAC#844
Post by: oko94 on December 05, 2014, 12:16:46 PM
Kit car ? I assume you mean a car that is made from pieces of various origins, not a car sold in kit form.

Post by: SACO on December 05, 2014, 02:15:04 PM
The name of the car is a well-known  kit car !

OK I'll be the first to bite. I'll start with modern cars - was it called a Westfield?
Title: Re: SAC#844
Post by: SACO on December 06, 2014, 11:03:47 AM
No ! I think it's a kit-car of the 50s ,but modified !

Sorry, I misunderstood. Is it based on a Shirley ?
Title: Re: SAC#844

Falcon?

It's there on the Register. Clearly Dr.Lovejoy tried to save money on the bodywork by fitting it with whatever he could find at the junkyard.

(I was correct with my guess about the origins of the puzzle photo.)

Simon, the Registrar on the Buckler Registry, has very kindly sent me a bit more information about this car from his files:

Are we sure this is a Mk10?  My Georgano encyclopedia has a picture captioned as a 1955 Buckler Mk10 not 1951.  I think "Buckler Ford Ten" in the advert above means "Buckler powered by a Ford Ten engine"

The Buckler Register has it as a Mk10.

Post by: barrett on May 17, 2019, 11:45:34 AM
What mechanical components (engine/chassis) did this car use? A point if you know. A bonus point if you can prove who built it (I don't know)

Hillman Minx?
Title: Re: Barrett's 1012
Post by: barrett on June 12, 2019, 10:39:55 AM
I guess the grille is from a Hillman, but not the rest of it
Title: Re: Barrett's 1012
Post by: FrontMan on June 12, 2019, 11:14:17 AM
Ford Ten base?
Title: Re: Barrett's 1012
Post by: barrett on June 13, 2019, 04:15:25 AM
It has a Ford 10 engine, yes. It has a different chassis, though. Locked for 24 hours to see if you can solve it

Buckler frame?
Title: Re: Barrett's 1012
Post by: barrett on June 17, 2019, 12:02:24 PM
Yes, that's it. A Ford-engined Buckler, but I have no more information about it
