ALMOST fell for this. Then I saw the MG Metro wheels. This is a Clan-based McCoy, using Mini 1275GT underpinnings.

Yes, the rear Imp-engined Clan Crusader/Clover morphed into the front Mini-engined McCoy.
Good Rookie point!

McCoy is the model name of this one. It was made by Birchall, and then N G Wayne's later in its career, so should really be titled as the Birchall McCoy.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.
