Interesting little sucker - in an odd sort of way!

That's kinda neat. I wish I had a bunch of extra money and storage space. It would make a fun vintage racer.

It wasn't unusual to see several of these is one race back in their day. They were excellent little race cars, although they looked a little crude to me. I always confused them with Turners.

I could see confusing them with Turners. The front also looks very TVRish (actually the whole thing looks a bit like a shrunk TVR from these pix!!). It sorta seems like a TR-based Speedwell!

The ebay seller also calls it a
1963 Fairthorpe Election Minor - I guess some insignificant politicians are running.
