DVLA suggests Ford Model B, registered 1 August 1977, for TYR78S.

Could this be locally made?

It's a Jago body apparently. So we could list as a 1977 Jago Model B? Though this only identifies the body and the rest of the car was usually custom made and given a name...

My big book of kit cars does cover these Jago hot rod bodies... Jago started out doing fibreglass Model T bodies in the 60s and moved on to the Model B in the 70s, this ran until the 80s. Basically a British equivalent of the American hot rods but using domestic mechanicals (you could also have a chassis designed to take MK3 and MK4 Cortina parts).

Jago also did these: Link to "/vehicles.php?make=Jago&model=Geep&modelMat" (probably one of the most popular kit cars).
