It's the Shanghai SH750 (sometime also referred to as the SH761) prototype from 1978, developed ny the Shanghai Automotive Research Institute.

Shanghai is correct but the rest doesn't match the information I have. Locked for your next guess...

Okay, I have that information too. I actually have a couple of conflicting names/dates for this one, but it's the SH750 or SH761S from somewhere between 1974-80! The Chinese car industry is still such a mystery... Well done for getting as much as you found

One of the SH750/SH761S prototypes had a rotary engine
