is this an original car or a modern re-creation/ replica/ tribute car?

I'm glad you asked that otherwise you would spend lots of time fruitlessly searching for it
It is a modern hand built car that doesn't particularly copy any known marque
Apparently two were built

Sorry Giles, all I know this was a hand-built car but if it was based on any other car I don't know.

I would also like to know what the story is behind this car.

I'll probably give it away by giving the following clue -

Politely one could say 'Taxi, Mr. Dennis?

or in a more informal manner one could say .....................?

Well that would be Cab ....... The significance of Mr Dennis escapes me at the moment thought. Is Dennis a first name or Surname?

That's the name!

I really don't know much about this car - only that it appeared in a magazine advert which stated it was a handbuilt vintage style car built in 1989 by Cabron Ltd. It also stated the 2 were built.

It is supposed to be a Bugatt-replica.
It was advertised as such: https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1009473
