Is it a GRP body on something like an MG chassis?

Retract that - I've just realised that the early Aston Martin DB3 had external door hinges. Is it one of those?

That could describe the Tojeiro-Butterworth although my recollection is of a somewhat different back-end shape.

I suppose I'd better just confirm - it is British isn't it?

I know this is wrong, but I have to ask! There were plans for a Tojeiro-Gordini, and I wonder if this is it?

The licence plate looks British. So is it a British chassis with an engine from another country?

You previously said that this was a prestigious chassis, but no Italian maker would lower himself to fit a GRP body! Was this car constructed in somewhere like Australia?
