Rusty memory says that's one of the specials UDY606 built for Rixon Bucknall after his better-known Jaguar, but I can't find a proper reference to it for the moment. It's a four-seater modified from an MGB of course.

That's the car Allan - the Rixon-Bucknall MGB SB 1964.
I'll give you a point for that but an extra point is on offer for who undertook the conversion........

Yes it was and I believe the man involved was Leslie Tie.
