Going by that frame shape I'm guessing it's some type of clubman. Looks like it'll be a super rigid chassis.

When I say lawn mower wheels I really meant bits of tree branch wit' hole int' middle. We used to dream of having a rolled up news paper.

One of the guys built one with large roller bearings for wheels. Slid all over the place and had absolutely no traction but it was fun if a bit scary.
I've often thought it would be great fun to build and race one of these:
Cheers

Luxury? We were so poor that our go-kart wheels were made from rocks with holes in the centre....oh wait, that was on the Flintstones

...umm, it's actually a C-Type Jag frame
There are so many tubes there, I wondered where they actually put the engine!

Andy on Kirkham Motorsports Facebook Page there is a suggestion of a 289 Street Car coming to Oz as well.
I hope this link works.

I saw the Facebook link on my phone so didn't think to reference the build number or dates. Pretty interesting factory pics all the same.
