I see what you mean, but I'm afraid it's nothing to do with Diva.

No. I'm fairly sure there's no Devin content in this car, but not 100% sure.

Geographically, it could well have been adapted from one of those! I don't know for sure.

I am still waiting for a response from nostalgic enthusiasts. However I have found that the engine size was 1498cc so it could well be Ford engined (I think the BMC B-series was 1489cc.)

I would have said the BMC B-series was 1598 cc but I'd need to check!

I've just found out that this car was built in Australia, but no longer resides there. A previous owner saw it was for sale, and bought it and imported it to its new home, which is also a Commonwealth country. I thought I ought to clarify this.

In the interest of anorak-wearers everywhere, the B-series 4-cylinder engine came in the following sizes:

1200 cc
1489 cc
1588 cc Twin Cam
1588 cc
1622 cc
1798 cc

It was also stretched to a 2.4 litre 6-cylinder engine for use in Australia!

Yes. Exactly. This car was built and raced in Australia, one of the previous owners had moved to S.Africa and saw that the car was for sale, bought it and shipped it to Africa. It now races in historic meetings on that continent.
