It's a Falcon Carribean Mk III isn't it, and judging by the wheels probably fitted to a Triumph Herald chassis.

Yes, it is a Falcon body (bult I think the Caribbean was an FHC) but there's nothing Triumph there.
So the question remains: what does that body cover?

The wheels look as if they're from an Morris/Austin 1100. :o

They had round ones as well as I recall... 
These may well be the same, I don't know.  There are no Austin/Morris 1100 mechanical bits in there that I'm aware of!

Obvious, ie stupid, question: is it front-engined?

So is it sitting on a chassis from another manufacturer like Fairthorpe or Turner?

Well Falcons sometimes ran with Terrier chasses and even Elva chasses. Is either the case with this one?

Rochdale Tornado?  No, it is a marque in its own right rather than a kit car.

This is perplexing- these later Falcons in my experience were not fitted to E93A Ford chasses but were usually fitted to Herald/Spitfire units, so I am trying to think of a 60s cars that also had a separate chassis of the right size - and drawing blanks except with the specialist cars already mentioned. There was a famous Sprite that was bodied by Falcon for Le Mans, presumably by bonding the fibreglass shell to the floorplan. Is this another attempt on a Sprite fitted with a Ford engine?
