Solved - NEH 3250: Fisher GT by Jack Fisher - ca. 1967 body

Terrible picutre, I know, but I can't find a better one!
So, what is it, who built it and when - for 1 point?:

That's the Fisher GT, built by Jack Fisher of Edinburgh. He started work on the chassis in 1959 but completed the car in 1964. The picture here shows it in its second guise in 1967 or 1968 with another body. After that it changed several more times and it survives to this day although now as a spider, again, in a totally different shape.
It's as much fun to scare as to be scared

That's it, yes.  I'm surprised I couldn't find a better picture of it; there must be some out there.
I didn't know that the later Fisher was in fact the same car but with a different body - I thought it was a new car entirely..
1 point to you and well done.

Of course, yes, it's Mini-engined so I should have known you would be the obvious candidate to solve this one!
Hope you have some better pictures?
