I should know this one, but don't!  :sigh:

Is it an Elva Mk 5?

Nothing as common as an Elva or Lotus. It's a one off, as far as I know

That's it!
Gilby Engineering Co Ltd was run by father and son team Sid and Keith Greene, who designed the car alongside Len Terry. It was completed in 1960. They later built Climax and BRM-engined F1 cars.
