It is a one off or a brand sold car?

Let's go back a step.  Are the underpinnings British?

The house behind doesn't look British, hence was it built in Britain?  :huh:

It appears to pre-date the formation of BMC.  Is it a Nuffield Group brand?

It was built in Britain.
My apologies! I mixed up different puzzle cars. This car was NOT built in Britain and (to my current knowledge) contains no British components other than those mentioned below:

I've decided to add to this response as well. While not based on a Ford, the car likely contained some British Ford parts when new, and was then modified with additional British Ford component(s) at a later date.
