Was this, then, the model (not necessarily this one in the photo) that Zef had been restoring a couple of years ago? And shame that he is rarely on here nowadays.

A good shout there Mike, I knew I'd heard mention of a Tornado Talisman somewhere.
I managed to find out a bit more about the cars here: https://www.below-the-radar.com/tornado-talisman/

The actual car posted was I guess recently sold.... it talks of a FIA spec rebuild

Tornado Talisman ‘547SYC’

First registered 1963. Believed originally one of only four ‘touring’ specification Talisman cars produced. Purchased in 2007 with a view to restoration and rebuild to FIA specification. Rebuilt across 2008/9 and, despite having been used sparingly due to family commitments, the car has been the subject of continued upgrade and development.

Ad then goes on to list full spec. All steel 1360 pre X-flow Ford, GT^ / Triumph front end.

Anyway the full ad with all the details and more pics is still online, albeit marked as sold.
