It is a British kit car, yes, but no Mini bits.
You've only got the middle letter right in the plate!
But even if you knew it all I don't think it would help.

OK, I'll accept that.
Actually it was described as an "AC Ace Le Mans Replica" from 1980, which might just be because it looks vaguely like it and had a similar colour scheme!
Well done.
