I have found reference to it as a Vauxhall GT Concept Prototype, which is a very vague and "general" description.

I can find no more information at the present time. (That photo is a Vauxhall/GM press picture which was for sale on E-bay in the past)
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes, I found that photo of the frontal aspect too. That was a really good-looking car, such a pity it didn't reach production. No doubt GM would have had trouble selling it under the Vauxhall brand name, but what a waste !

the model seems to be assymetrical, with different door cut, window shape and rear wheelarch on each side.

So wonderful!!!

History shows though that the public don't buy a sports car with a Vauxhall badge, however good it might look or be..

May it be a Vauxhall or not this is one of the most beautiful designs I've ever seen! Reminds me on Chuck Jordan's Opel CD concept from around the same time.
