I think that is too easy. It probably is a license build MEBEA (ST150 possibly)

An additional alternative could be the TW9 built by BTB Engineering after the stop of the production of the Ant by Reliant.

Hm, it is of course an offspring of the Reliant Ant.

But I still have a different manufacturer, and none of the names we´ve seen here before...

My source is from 1977, maybe this might help. :-\

It was designed by Ogle, but possibly you want to know something different..

A long shot but I can't find any other solution to this one at the moment.

I found this photo that states "one that never made it into production".
Probably just a "tongue in cheek" comment or was there an attempt by Foden to put the Ant into production?

Foden is still not the name I have. :-\

But it is most interesting what companies seem to have been involved with that vehicle...
