This is the prototype for a new Alvis that Rover built after they took the company over. I've found it referenced as the Alvis GTS and built in 1966. It was based on the Rover P6.

The mid-engined car was nicknamed Gladys. Here's a rear angle:

As a hatchback based on a Rover 2000TC, why would this be mid-engined?  Unless you mean "mid-front engined".
