Bit difficult from pictures as they don't zoom clearly, looks vaguely Simplex like though.

Geoff, here is a site for Simplex that tells you all.

PS You will find that some of the websites for suppliers no longer exist.

One supplier of drawings and castings for Simplex is A J Reeves, another is Blackgates. If you can find one, it is also possible to build from the book by Martin Evans, which, I think, may include some minor details missing from the original drawings. Blackgates lists photo-copies of the original construction series.
