It looks so much like one, that the person who "found" it thought that's what it was.  But I'm afraid it isn't.

The car is not Australian, but that's where it is pictured.

H.A.R.  Possibly with Jaguar power ?

Yes, that's exactly what it is. Until I found this puzzle car I hadn't realised that more than one HAR had been built - this was originally the car of Bertie Bradnack which he entered as a Woden. It found its way to Australia where it was fitted with the Jaguar engine and rebodied in this style which so clearly looks like an HWM, and when it was found before restoration that's what the buyer thought it was.

One well-deserved point to you.
