Hard to answer without giving it away. Let's say it this way: it was not built as it was initially supposed to be.

Was it the guy who designed the Marcos Mantis?  Maybe this design was the original intention but it somehow morphed into the Mantis?
Usually Dennis Adams is credited with the design of the Mantis but in fact he only designed the interior and did the first rough sketches.  Someone else actually designed the body we saw..

So a version of it was built by a small British manufacturer; not an MPV like this proposal then?

A version of it was successfully built by a big British company, and it still looked like the proposal!

Was it a big company but not an automotive company? A company that normally made different stuff but made a car based on this?

I guess that answers my question too, although your reply to el_monty seems to be a bit contradictory.
If they were not an automotive company but built this how come they didn't normally make other stuff?
Unless they didn't normally make anything at all but were an investment company or something like that?

Sorry to have confused you more than necessary. The "no" was the answer to the question in all its detailedness. Parts of it are right assumptions, others are not. It was a company that made different stuff, but they didn't make a car based on this. I know that sounds contradictory unless you know the answer.  ;)

PS. And I am sure you all know the company.

Was it a Bill Towns design (from before he bought a ruler!), with just one being made for publicity purposes?
