No, I think Shamrock has had a good crack of the whip but after 6 days I think it's time to open it up again...

This looks like the one-off mid-engined coupe to me built by Dennis Aldred, and known as 'the Green car' because of its green colour!  It used a supercharged Hillman Imp engine, plus a section of a Chevron B8 roof and bodyshell.

Ah - you've been reading the same magazine as me!
Yes, that's right, and the engine was (as we've already established) replaced by a Wankel rotary.
Very good.
