One last clue and it should be easy to solve now (for the last point)

Please note I made a wrong statement about the engine in an earlier post.

So for the point fill in the question marks
 - the car uses a ? engine of ? litres designed by ?

Quite correct - well done.
I haven't seen any other photos and don't know if the car still exists (the photo I think comes from the mid-1990s)

I've come across two more photos taken in the 1970s of the Lee Triumph special that was being restored by Rob Green.
