As far as I am aware, this car was built without the use of any major components of British origin. That said, some of the internal transmission parts may have been Ford-sourced. I also believe the original motor may have been swapped out for a Ford unit at some later point.

No Ford components other than noted above.

(Also see that I edited my response to your previous question.)

Apart from the Ford components, is the puzzle car based on a European car ?

Let's make this simple: as I understand it, the puzzle car was not based on any existing vehicle.

It wasn't. None of the major components were sourced from existing vehicles (though some of their internal parts may have been).

No, but that would be a great puzzle car as well
