If the chassis number really is 184194 then you should find it stamped into the top of the left hand chassis rail about 5-10cm rearwards of the rear engine mounting, close to where a P clamp should locate the fuel pipe. With the car being a special however the bodywork may be obscuring it. The car is definitely not a Speedy! Door hinges are early Mini. Exhaust manifold has been cut and welded to exit horizontally. Head is late Ruby HC version. Unless you have already done it, I would check the brakes from front to rear. A7 brakes are "adequate" at best. Don't compare them to a modern.
