I believe this is the Appollo GT (the extra 'p' was deliberate...) that was based on a VW Beetle floorpan and designed by Allen Pearce. It was completed in 1971 and remained a one-off.

That's about the long and the short of it, so it's 1 point for you.
You'll have to buy your own Balvenie though..!
