The only other Clubmans I know of - the Haggispeed?

No. According to my source, this is a driver-built, one-off special.

It's not identified as such, but I can't rule out the possibility that it may have been based on a Centaur.

I am not sure when it was built, but I would guess sometime in the 1980s. The owner/builder was driving a different (but similarly-named) special in 1978.
