I think it's probably quite a small car, designed to look bigger than it is. There's a high bonnet line and smallish wheels, so is there a Mini (or Metro) underneath?

Yes!  that was easier than I thought..
The original cars were actually Austin A30 powered;  must have had really exciting performance...!
