Was it based on an existing three-wheeler?
No.

Was this a one-off by an individual?

I believe it was a one-off, but not by an individual.

Was the manufacturer known for other vehicles?

I'm not aware of any other vehicles by this organisation.

Was it built by a company, or by some other entity such as a school/university?

The organisation behind this car didn't really qualify as any of the above  ;)

I don't know, but I found this photo in a magazine some years ago.

Okay. this is the Kiwiwagon, developed by the New Zealand government's Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. It has a Ford 100e engine and gearbox, which drives the single rear wheel by chain. It still existed in the 1990s, when this photo was taken. I wonder where it is now?

Welcome back Barrett, and what a return!  After ten years I am very happy to see that this one has finally been resolved with a very complete answer (I can tell what you've been reading  ;)). Very well done, and two BH points to you  :applause:

I knew I had the magazine somewhere, it just took 10 years for me to pick it up again!
