It's a '65 MGB with Fastnet bolt-on nose.

Looks very like the red car (number 37) in this link:

Which would make it a LeMans entry for MG?

I am still sure it's an MGB that was modified by a company named Fastnet.

Well done Oswald, and sorry for the delay in awarding you a point; been away doing toher things for a while.  This is indeed the Fastnet front-end for the MGB.  Fastnet also offered a rear wrap-around spoiler and supercharger kits for MGBs.
