I can see it now, first sketch of Reliant Scimitar GTE's successor (SE7) by David Ogle (Ogle Design) circa mid-70's, he also penned a 4-door version at the same time.

That is what it is, yes, although it's most probably by Tom Karen, as David Ogle had sadly died in a car accident in 1962, whilst driving his Ogle SX1000 to Brand's Hatch racing circuit.
