Guess this isn't a version of the Quasar-based rear-engined GPZ1100 HCS 'Slug', built for Glynn Sparkes in 1985 (as below)?

CP13 is correct: this is the Defiant EV3 Roadster by Shockwave Motors, a car which was intended for, if never actually made, production. Well done, this has been around for a long time
