Judging by what I can see of the suspension, is it Triumph-based?

Good work Carnut, as this is the Harcourt Special, based on a Triumph Spitfire. Another point to you.

Hmmm, I've never seen the actual car, as I found my image on a cover of a club magazine.  It looks very nice.  It think it was built c.2009.
