1960s is correct, but this was an attempt at a car built for production

The builder/brand does indeed appear in books, and has even been on AP too! But I've never seen another pic of this particular model

Cool...a book about British Specialists Cars or Kit Cars? Or even a big (let's say 3-volume) encyclopedia?

The maker does indeed appear in a certain book by Chris Rees - although you might be surprised by which one :)

Mmhhh...I listed 2041 models from that book, 380 British, 60 from 1959 to 1970, 25 with no pics. 3 pics can be found in other books. Was the builder a manufacturers of 'Invacars', like AC, Harper, Invacar or Tippen?

Your approach is admirably scientific :)
