Well if is the one I did some research for then it was built in Austrailia by a company called Bodycraft Pty Ltd.

Designed by Allan Cumming and Ford looked at it but decided not to take it into production.

That works for me.  Well done.  Four of these were built by Bodycraft for appraisal by Ford Australia before the project got canned.

Aha, one of the four built was a 2-door, the other three all being 4-door models.  Can't lay my hands on an image of the 2-door version, but here's another shot of the 4-door.
