Pictures proved a bit difficult to find for this one I'm afraid.  It does have four seats, but it was also available as a two-seater.

Is it a red one that's on PH? There was a red one at the Exeter kit car show last year (or maybe the year before...).

I agree it wins no prizes for styling!
Not Mini based...

OK it looks to be a commercial offering (why?)

But the question is you have left a 'Y' visible on the plate so are we looking for a car from 2000/2001?

Why? Is a good question.
And 'Y' - a good answer: yes, it's from 2000. There was quite a big commercial plan behind this car but it all ended badly...
