Don't think it's going to be available for sale, more built for their own purposes I believe.

I found something relating to the name 'Clinton'. Could that be close to what the answer is?

Its the Clinton Racing Car. Or the... 'High Performance Specialist Racing Car.' By Clinton Smith. Of Clinton Engineering.
