Looks like an Alpine A110 Groupe 4 Usine - but that would be too easy...

Close-ish, but the company tht makes this does have a name.  I will lock this for you until your next reply to tell me what the company if called (plus ideally whatthis is based on).  Thanks.

The builder/seller of this replica..did not reply back to me about this car. From what I could gather & intrepetate..this replica is called a RAFA BT, ??? I believe it is supposed to replicate a 1300s group 4 Renault Alpine A110. It apparently can be had with a (new) replicated A110 chassis, that some people questioned the legality of. I read some negative things about this particular builder/seller. This is all that I could understand about this car..as I do not speak or read spanish.

Thanks whcgt, you're a touch closer, but still not quite there though with the full story.  I will award you a point anyway for getting the Spanish connection, and now move this one on to the next level for the correct full name, vehicle base, etc.
