Is it a TD2000 - modern copy of the MG TD using a Nissan engine?

It was offered as a kit car, but didn't sell very well, so was ultimately offered fully-built only.

It is British?

The cars at the back (royale sabre, lotus 7?, Mx-5, Wildcat E-type, Handbuilt Aluminium Locost, Formula 27 and Luego) all place it in the UK.... especially as the locost lives around east anglia.

Yup, it's British!

(P.S. good car spotting of those parked behind the mystery machine!  The Lotus Seven is a genuine pre-Caterham Series IV)

Could it be a Swift?
It differs in several details from the photo I've seen but it's worth a try.......

but are they worth any points...........?

Is the age of the car this century (i.e. made 2000-2010)

Sorry Giles, no points for spotting the others cars in the background! 

This car is not from the Noughties (2000-2009), and it is neither a Swift or Carisma.

My next thought is that it might be a Burlington Berretta?

I can see why you say that, as I thought it was a Burlington as well at first, but sadly for you it is not.

I'm a bit stumped with this one - anyway, one last try - Birchfield?
