I can see why you might think this is a Reliant, but it's not.

The base car is British, but the design is not.

Very closely related to a Triumph TR7!  Locked to you until your next reply.

I dont really have a good answer, but I am guessing perhaps at a restyle by an Italian design house, possibly Michelotti who I know did some other TR7 facelift proposals

Your Michelotti guess is a good one as this is his work.  So, this remains locked to you WayneB as you are now getting close to the final answer.

Is it the MG "Boxer" TR7 facelift exercise that Michelotti did in 1979 ?

It was a proposed MGB replacement , a restyled TR7 badged as an MG.
