British - yes
Dutton - no
It's not a kit-car
This one may have been a one-off by an established manufacturer

I'll go for the Mk 3 which had Ford running gear (and wheels), Stag/Marina door handles and high back seats.
Do you have any other pictures? it's a good looking car.

Well done navara, that's the car.
I don't have any other photos at the moment.
By the way, congratulations on becoming an expert.
