It's the 1970 World Cup Rally Trident Venturer.
The rally ran from London to Mexico for the Rally but despite a good start the Trident, driven by a British Army team, didn't get ay further than Yugoslavia, hitting a big stone which damaged the suspension.
The car languished in various places until it was restored a couple of years ago and is no back to its Rally specification.

Here's a picture of it taken at a Trident Car Club gathering in 2016.  You can see my TVR Trident there in the picture - rear view.

Just consider it a gift for you. I would have been disappointed, if anyone else had been faster.  :D

Much appreciated.
It's not often I get the chance to post a picture of my car as part of the answer!
And I like your timing; you must have been saving it for these 2 weeks!
