I think this is the Alexis-Rochdale. GRP Rochdale GT body on an Alexis tubular chassis. I can't remember what engine it runs but it was owned for many years by Duncan Rabigliati

My apologies, it's been several years since I read about this car. I just thought I should double check, it seems it's just known as the Alexis GT. The chassis is in fact a Buckler spaceframe. It has an MGA engine.
Buckler offered this car for sale as the Buckler GT/R1, but this isn't one of the Buckler versions

I'm afraid I can't find any more out about it.
Quiller might be best placed to add something?
