The rear end is Chrysler-ish. Maybe a Cherokee prototype?

It somehow looks like a 'professional' proposal, neither customized nor home-built or kit car.
Made by one of the major companies?

It's not Chrysler, nor indeed any of the big companies.

Its designer had a hand in at least one well-known sports car

That makes it a lot easier to find....

I'm playing my cards close to my chest here as I know exactly where it was made, but if I reveal that someone else might slide in and say who it was made by, which is bit I can't find.  Curses!!

On a brighter note, I love you're new logo Allemano.  It looks like something you'd find on the side fender of a mystery 1950s Abarth 750 that could have been built by Boano, or perhaps Vitto! ;D

AutoPuzzles is like a small puppy that you have to keep an eye on at all times otherwise things move.  This is a good example.  I could'nt find this one, an now here it is again, ready to be put out its misery!

This is the one-off prototype for a Middle East Project car by Robin Stables (of Bohanna Stables fame; Nymph, Diablo, etc.), made in Cornwall, after he moved from High Wycombe. 

His business partner Peter Bohanna left car design completely to become a water softner engineer, and now lives in Marlow, Bucks, about 6 doors away from my mother!
