No, it's not an HRG.

Ah - Hang on. These are built to this day by Antoni Dwornik in Headington, Oxford. They use a ladder frame with Ford or Triumph power and really are very nice.
He started building them in 1987, but he'd taken over the project from Martin Vincent who had been building them for some years at the time.
I understand one was recently built on Maserati 3200 mechanicals, too. That must be fun!

That's about it, yes.  This particular one has a Ford Pinto engine.
Steady on Oswald or you're going to be a Pro soon...!

Here's the un-modified puzzle photo, which I note gives the car a model name "Rallye"..
It was also captioned as a 1967 model and note the registration is in fact from 1967, if that is anything to go by.
