Yes it is.
It's the very first Sabre/Sabra prototype.
Well done!

Wow - that's good!
A better-looking car than the final production model IMHO..

It is better looking, though it is simply an Ashley Sportiva shell. The Sabra got the ugly and bizarre bumpers that totally ruined the look but otherwise isn't too different. I think the Reliant Sabre 6 is also a really nice looking car though

Yes, you're right of ocourse.  I'd forgotten the Sabre was simply an adaptation of the Ashley body uglified with a new front-end...
It does have a certain charm though, especiallly with wire wheels.
