What is the name of this car, and who customized it?

Mini as converted by Wood & Pickett

Model name Margrave, based on a 1275 Clubman

And the point goes to Nicanary for the correct answer.

I posted this because of the strong resemblance to a Chevy Luv (Isuzu) pickup from the front.

The W&P Margrave Mini famously used the front grill of a Vauxhall Victor FD.
