If you can identify who made this white beast and what is so special about it, you gain a point.

PS: I did not change the picture. It is as it appeared in the manufacturer's promotional material.

The Fiat 850 spider is recognized, but the ugly hardtop with glass roof will be the problem of this puzzle.
The car has rhd, can the top be british?

The car is NOT RHD! Please not the puzzle picture is mirrored.

Quite! I stated before that I used the picture as from the publicity material. It's not British and I believe it was not aimed at the British market.

I think it is a FIAT 850 spider with a Hardtop by Martare from Netheland

The Fiat 850 Spider was never marketed in the UK.
As far as I know there are no factory rhd cars.

The Fiat 850 Spider was sold officially for a very short time in the UK, but it was too expensive and struggled against the myriad of BMC cheaper sportcars (Midget, Spitfire, etc.).  Wimbeldon-based Fiat/Abarth dealer Radbourne Racing used to convert them to RHD, at huge expense!
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.
