sorry guys I forgot to check our puzzles. YESSSS kudos to D-type (YES it is Healey based) and to Driggy.dragos who identified this as a Dutch car: a Huet Brothers HB special.
on the picture it is probably Tiny Huet himself...
well done retro design on a period car!

Don't forget to award a point and move this puzzle to Solved. Also - you've posted a link to another website. This is not allowed on AP.

The car "built" by the Huet brothers  looks like it's built using a Sammio shell. The OP mentions it's Austin Healey engined but the website claims a Triumph TR6 motor. Anyway, the road cars are apparently bodied in carbon fibre so they'll be very expensive!

I'll award a point to driggy.dragos and move this to solved. Here's a front view.
