The conversion was done in the US, but don't think any Devins were involved..

That body has a hint of Healey 3000 at the rear, very popular these days on Autopuzzles.. ;D.

Was it once one of these fine English Gentleman's conveyances?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Those exhausts are in an odd configuration. Is the car now powered by an American V8 ?

Found it!

It's an Austin-Healey 100/4 with a small-block Chevrolet engine and four-speed gearbox believed to have been built for racing in the late 1950s.
The current owner Bruce Glascock acquired the car in the early 2000s but doesn't know what it was called or who built it.

Bad luck Otto; do you utilise the 'Notify' button in instances like this?  It's a great tool...

My commiserations Otto, but I often refer to the site where the puzzle car was featured and knew where to find it quickly.

I'm about to start posting new puzzles again and I'm sure several will be 'up your street'  ;)
