On the right track, but it's not a Quantum.

Well of it isn't a quantum then it must be a sector three sports cars version.

Well the only other thing I can think is that it has the extreme nosecone grafted onto another car.

Unless you are referring to mb motorsport who trade under the quantum name from 2010

I thought this one might cause some head scratching.  It's not an MB Motorsport, or nose job, so look back a little further in time (good clue!).

Well it was developed for an Ian Pettinger, designed by Richard Ashby and built by Steve Greenwood. They then formed Sector three to market it.

Either that of my new reference book is wrong.

Is you new reference book what I think it might be, and full of Hole(s)  ;)

Anyway, if it is, this will be in there, under the correct make and model name.

Ah ha, so you have got that book(?).

Anyway, Savant 175 was the name I was seeking (the forerunner to the Quantum Extreme), so another point to you.
