Yes - it's the Timera, built by Peter Timpson and Frank Costin. It's basically a spin-off of the Probe series without actually being a Probe.

It is not a Centaur but it IS closely related and was developed by Concept Developments I believe.
I'll lock it for you to see if you can find out what it is.

Yes, that's right (but 'Timiere' actually I believe).
Now, who was it who actually designed it? Who was it who formed Concept Developments, to answer the 'by whom?' question?
Still locked of course.

I think Costin only designed the chassis; whose company was Concept Developments?
Still locked of course.

The man in question would be Peter Timson who formed Concept cars in 1972

That's it, yes.
It had a chassis designed by Frank Costin and was to use a 4-cylinder BMC engine, thought  don't know which one! Possibly an MGB engine.
It remained a one-off prototype.
Well done.

It looks very much like it, but then so does the Pulsar..!
I suspect it might be it, but the only 2.2 litre BMC engine was a 6-cylinder and this car is said to have been based around a 4-cylinder BMC engine.
Here's a picture of the Pulsar, but the door windows don't look the same:
