Hi Hugh and Jon,
Ray Walker showed me a picture in his album of an Ulster parked in the yard, taken in the sixties and said that it belonged to Jeff Clamp, the same man that Gerald Walker sold a supercharged engine to, minus the Cozette blower, for £100! Enough then to buy a decent Seven. Gerald later confirmed this when I asked him about it. So what happened to that engine?
As to this car, I too have been studying the photographs sent and have suspicions about the originality of the chassis frame. The torque tube looks too high, but can't be sure as there is no clear photo of the rivetted ball mounting showing the position. Also, the curious number stamped near the steering box. If that is the chassis number, it is way off. The rest of the car looks pretty pukka though.
