It's a bit similar, but it isn't a Microplas Mistral body.

It's a TVR but not a Jomar, not from 1957 and it doesn't have a Climax engine..

TVR Grantura Series II Roadster Racer, 1,622 cc MGA-powered.
Car was tested by the British magazine "The Motor" in 1961. It had a top speed of 98.4 mp/h and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 12 seconds.
The car was built in a single copy (I had seen only coupe of this car)?

That's it yes!
It was a pure one-off built for racing.
