A few cars were made by this very small maker, but I think none of the others looked exactly like this one.  It's probably the original prototype.

An RGS ?

You can delete my question mark - it is indeed an RGS (engine unknown) which was registered HAW333.

Indeed it is, perhaps the very first one?
Well done.

Nor could I - as far as I can see it's only on one site, and the OP used that exact image. Well done Serra.

Is that front grille from a Morris Minor MM ?

I would say so.  They'd never have made such a complex one for a one-off..
