It's neither a Proton nor an Olcit.

Is it a prototype/styling exercise from British Leyland/Austin-Rover?

it's not the same car, but someone should be angry about that...
Not electric, is it?

From memory this car is not electric, unlike your car which looks like the Danish Hope Whisper.

Sorry Quiller and all other fellow Autopuzzlers who have been patiently waiting from a response from me.  Been away from Autopuzzles for a few weeks, busying myself with putting the final touches to this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, before now getting stuck into the Goodwood Revival in a few weeks time. 

This car is of course the GE  Plastics Vector II, based around a Citroen AX.  Bravo Quiller, you now have your 250th point!

Here's a front shot of the car, looking remarkably like a Ford Escort MK IV.
