LOCKED for DeAutogids

AC is the company, Portugal is the country. 

About when was it built, and what model name was it given?

It was build in the 1983-1988 period and was called Sport Car. It had a Volkswagen engine. I thinkt the builder was a A. Cacao (hence AC).

AC SportCar or Sport Car is correct, as is the time span.

Unusual car.

This car was the British GP Talon, built under licence in Portugal by AC SportCar.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

I was going to say it looks incredibly like a Talon..
No wonder!
