Is it a WH Imp? If so, it was one of two made on Hillman Imp platforms in around 1970.

Pretty sure you're right with that one Hezza, but I'm away from home at the moment without my files.

So this one is on hold until I return Sunday pm/Monday am when I think I'll be able to award you a point and move this one to solved.  As I said before though, you'll have to buy your own Balvenie...

Yes, it's one of the 2 WH Imps built by Richard Haste and Tony Whitehead, this one completed in 1970.
As Shamrock says, this is the car featured in Hot Car magazine in early 1971.

Here are some more pictures, including an un-modified one of the puzzle photo:

Was this stolen vehicle ever recovered by the owner?
