Yes, another Super Seven lookalike.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

On closer examination the car looks too large to be a Lotus Seven replica (I didn't fancy having to trawl through over a hundred or so replicas of that car!)
I believe this to be a Ford-engined 'one-off' built in 1948 by Wing Commander Hugh George and known as the HG Special?
