Not that I know of and doubt it very much, but I will check and if it is I'll tell you.

I'm assuming that this is a British one-off - could it be based on a Ford?

Yes, it does look larger than a Ford Ten-based car.
Perhaps Triumph?

Okay let go back a step to eliminate several makes - is it based on a car from the 1930s?

It looks lile an 'evocation' to me.  Is it based on a 1960's chassis?

No.. much earlier chassis, although when the body was fitted I'm not sure..

The chassis/front suspension looks quite substantial and the car was probably a saloon originally.
I think a more expensive type of car than an Austin/Ford/Morris type.
Let's try Lea-Francis although one of our senior members would probably have guessed that......
