Unknown Londontoy car

I found some pictures via Google image search of a "Londontoy Futuristic Car".  Sadly there was no reference to what model # it was.  Following are the 2  pictures I found of it.

Very recently I also found a car for sale on eBay.  The seller's description as follows:


 VINTAGE "HUBLEY" KIDDIE TOY CONVERTIBLE CAR 6 1/4" LONG MADE USA

 VINTAGE "HUBLEY" KIDDIE TOY CONVERTIBLE CAR 6 1/4" LONG MADE USA.  Car has been painted and some paint is peeling off.  Wheels are intact.

This was obviously the "Londontoy Futuristic Car" with the roof missing.  It is certainly not a Hubley as the seller indicated.  It was listed for sale @ $9.99 US and sold for $9.99 US.  I couldn't justify bidding on it as it was missing the roof.

    For everyone's info I advise this is actually a Leslie-Henry Futuristic Coupe, possibly modeled after the Kaiser. LH used Londontyo dies (on loan) and can be identifuied by the lack of a country of origin and the ommission of Londontoy or Canada from the base. On the larger 6" models a separate chassis casting was added to models without motors (friction or clockwork). See http://toysnz.com/LondontoyHistory-Canada for more information.
