No, this is not a kumquat, although it is small and orange.

For one point, please respond and identify the car by telling its builder and its base.

You are right in identifying the Wartburg. But that was a misleading track  :(
It is not from the GDR.

Yes, it is from the UK (to where Wartburgs were exported as Wartburg Knight, by the way).

Is this a prototype of a model that later saw production or was it a 'one-off'?

As I understand it, it was a one-off.

I know it was owned at some time by Grant Kearney and I found a couple of pictures referring to it as Ernie Leece's Peel Prototype.
You can unlock it, I will need to much time.  :-\

I will unlock it, because Ernie Leece is the name I was looking for.

Another point for you, congratulations.
