Going purely from memory, is it a Fletcher?

The grey cells may need a bit of stimulation... not a Fletcher

My memory might be working again now, and I've just remembered the name.  It think it is the Canter Coaster, made near the Reliant factory in Tamworth in 1967 by Alister Canter.

I thought I'd typed Carter, but it seems not.  I'm using a French keyboard at the moment which has the letters in different places, so it's all very confusing.  Anyway, to confirm, it is the Carter Coaster.

It is indeed the Carter Coaster  :)
With franck.kegelart's permission, I propose to award the point to Djetset, as he clearly had the car ID'd (from memory...and on a French keyboard...!)
Kudos to franck for knowing the car too
