Is it a Lister? Possibly one with a Bristol engine?

The possibility I thought of was Tojeiro.

There were many British sportscars :) But it's not Tojeiro either.

Guys, I'm afraid I must make a correction. The name I wanted to hear was some 'Hxxx Yyyy' (the number of X's and Y's doesn't mean the number of letters), but as it turned out to be, 'Hxxx' was not the producer of this car, but seemingly an engine supplier and in more sound sources the car is called 'Yyyy - Hxxx' or simply 'The Yyyyy'. Sorry for that  :(

Still 'Hxxx' is not Hillman.

I'll guess it's a (something) HRG.

Right. That's what I meant.
To be more precise, it should be a 1500cc Singer engine which was basically installed in one of the HRG models, but the car is still called _______ - HRG. When it will be solved, maybe someone would be able to elaborate on this?
