Lotus is correct!

Prototype to the later Lotus/Toyota Isuzu front-wheel-drive Elan?

Back to the puzzle, then:
As stated in my reply #3, this is a test car for some elements made by a 'company' for a model of the past Lotus lineup.
It seems that the same man is also busy with another, quite different job.
I'm after the name of this man, since the 'company' has nothing to do with cars.
I know it's confusing, but when it will be found, probably some of our members will be able to explain.

Is this a Peter Stevens project?

Not from any known name.
The key to find this car is to investigate on the builder's main activity, the nation and the Lotus model for these components.

Did the builder make other forms of transport (i.e. not cars?).

Nothing to do (directly) with cars.
It's from Europe, but not Italy or UK.

Not Swatch or any known maker of cars or any other object...it's more a provider of a service...let's say like a firm...

To me, it looks like it's built on an Elise chassis.

OK, it's not my fault...sometimes I don't get the NEW script.
Not an insurance company, but not that far...

Was it a car created specially for an advertising promotional campaign (for an insurance firm, bank, etc.)?

Nope.
This is a test car, a mule, used to test the 'elements' built.
I found a page on the web about this car but all the info (name of the builder, email address and the website itself) points to a different activity...
This man has got a different job than a builder of parts for that Lotus model.
I suggest you to find: this job, the country and the model...then google will do the rest.

you need 3 elements to find this, all of them quite easy...then Google can do the rest.
1: place (europe not UK)
2: job (...like a firm...without Tom...)
3: model (not the current line-up but this name is the 1st you should think when you name Lotus....)

You will find it in the 1st page of results then, I just tried.

1: Yes.
3: Yes.
2: Not that Tom...
Probably my clue was too complicated. It's like a firm, and when I think of this word I remind a movie\book....

Now you have all you need!
(just a very slight intuition and it will be in the 1st page of results googling the right words)
