Indeed this is a Sprite, so that's one out of the four questions answered!
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to see if you can come up with the other three answers.

If still locked, please unlock..that was the only one close enough to warrant investigation.

It does look like the Dema fibreglass front.

Whether that's coincidental or whether there's a connection I don't know, but that's not what the puzzle car is!

Weird that 2  companies would produce the same ugly front end for a Sprite. :yuck:

Well there probably is a connection as I don't believe in coincidences, but I don't know for sure.  You know how it is with these things, they are often taken on by someone else when the original producer runs out of money or moves on or whatever.

Anycase it's not the answer I'm looking for!

Yes, that is indeed what I was looking for.
It's possible of course that it is the same product as your earlier guess but which was only marketed by Meyer Products, but they didn't say that on their blurb so I'm assuming not.  I'm not sure they would get away with their claim that it "improves handling" today though!
Well found.
