From memory this is the GS Silhouette, a British VW-based kit car of the early 1970s.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Very very close!  I have it as a Silhouette GS_?_. 48 hours to find the missing part.

P.S. Maybe You have some pics of this ultra rarity in better quality?  ;)

Confusingly in an old 1972 leaflet I have the car was first known as the GS Silhouette 70, but it later changed to the Silhouette GS 70 in a later 1973 small ad in Hot Car magazine.  I will try and scan in some better images.

Yes, but the same book is available (at least this page) on the net.
