Alligator prototype amphibious car?
Yes. Locked for you to provide the full answer.
I think it was a prototype model (alligator) by trippel eurocar,a three-seat convertible,the driver sat in the center and had an Austin engine.

Yes, it was made by Hans Trippel.
You might be right about the engine, I'm not really sure..
It was the forerunner of the Triumph-engined Amphicar.
Would you like to have stab at its date since I asked for that in the original question?
Still locked!

I have a couple of years earlier but we'll call it solved since you have everything else..
Just to point out the connections:
It is the 1957 Trippel Alligator, which was developed into the 1959 Eurocar Alligator (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8381.msg247208#msg247208), which first kept the center steering, but later changed to LHD (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8381.msg248583#msg248583). It finally emerged as the well known Amphicar.

The original leaflet described the engine as
"A U S T I N Typ A 35 Sprite".
