It was built by Mick Hill, based upon a Trojan Formula 5000.

LOCKED for tuatank

"Formula 5000" was the race series the Trojan competed in, not the model of car.  What model of Trojan was this "Beetle" based upon?

And the point goes to tuatank for the correct answer.

My research on this puzzle indicates, only 1 or 2 T102's were ever built.
