2cv based I suppose. Hard to see from the picture, is it a trike?

Is this the one-off 2CV-based Trident trike, with matching Ami grill and hubcaps?

Well-found!
It is indeed a Trident 3-wheeler.
Don't know what they were usually based on but this particular one is not Citroen-based.
Strictly speaking you have identified it, which is what I asked for, but let's see if you can tell me what powers it for an extra point!  Locked for you (do I really need to lock a puzzle in the Black Hole?!)

If it's not 2CV-powered, how about Mini-based?

Pretty damn close!
Close enough for the point I think as the owner said Metro but the drivetrain is the same.
Below is the original advert I took the puzzle from:
