No Sprite connection.
The chassis is from the 1950s from a British marque you'll know, but they didn't make a lot of cars..

Is it perchance a Tojeiro chassis?

Exactly.
I imagine the original body was destroyed in the accident and was impossible to replace, hence the Falcon body instead.

The Dellow MkVI has been puzzled here before:
