I don't know who designed it, but there's a strong likelihood he (or she!) was British.

It is a model, the wheels remind me of vintage Schuco's?
It seems to be on a table in front of a mantelpiece with family pictures.

You're right!  I didn't pay enough attention to that..
It is a model built by a car company for a proposed car.  Nothing to do with Schuco, but I suppose they had to get the wheels from somewhere so they might have desecrated a Schuco model!

Certainly very well known, but they don't mass produce cars..

The proposed car would have had wire knock-off wheels?

Probably; or else alloy wheels.  I don't know if the spinners on the model are significant or not.

...or that IWR Elan (which has been puzzled here before) which is what you must have seen at Techno Classica, because this car was never built!
