Was its builder known for Mini based kit cars like Phoenix?
This company did not build kitcars, as far as I know.
Their best known production model is much more different than the puzzle picture this is why it is such mysterious.

Was this company a producer of other types of vehicles (i.e. not cars, but e.g. electric milk floats)?

No. This company made microcars that looked quite distinctive.

I have it a Sinclair prototype without model name. If anyone has any ideas what this could actually be, please share.
Nicely done, Pal!

Where the heck did you find this  ???  ???  :o

Written in Estonian language:

Quote
JAAPAN. Ajalehest «Japan Times» võetud fotol on Tokio keskkonnakaitse tehnoloogiainstituudi leiutajate täiustatud motoroller. Kabiin kaitseb juhti vihma ja tuule eest ning parema teelpüsivuse saavutamiseks on motoroller varustatud lisaratastega. Kabiinist ja lisa-ratastest koosnev komplekt on juba saabunud müügile ja see sobib igale motorollerile.

Google translation:
Japan. Newspaper "Japan Times" is a photo taken in Tokyo Institute of Technology, the inventors of advanced environmental protection scooter. Cab driver from rain and wind, and to achieve a better roadholding scooter is equipped with auxiliary wheels. Cab and a set of additional wheels have already arrived and it is suitable for all scooters on sale.

My source is anything, but reliable. I don't know for sure what is this car, but the subject of the puzzle is now changed according to the solution you found.

I think it is NOT Sinclair, but the Japanese car.
