From memory - CRC Mirach. I amy be wrong though, 'cause I haven't checked it yet.
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

CRC is probably from the owner's initials - Clive Robinson. And it seems that in 2002 production has been taken over by RJH Sports Cars.

I know very little about this car and to my knowledge there are no connections neither with CRC nor RJH.

Maybe it's just a coincidence. But the similarity is striking in my opinion.

Possibly there are some relations of which I don't know, but the name I am looking for this car isn't one of these.

Strictly speaking I think that this car should have been correctly solved as the Chris Humberstone Design Mirach, as the car was only marketed as the Leopard Mirach in Germany.  Either way, Studhammudger still deserves the point. 

The Mirach is still in production today in kit form.  Incidently, the designer Chris Humberstone can be seen in the photograoh, as the gentleman standing behind the car on the left.

Oophs, I meant Chris Field, not Chris Humberstone.  I must stop trying to make business telephone calls whilst casting half an eye on AutoPuzzles and not concerntrating!'
