That's the first instinct destroyed! Is it a modified version of a known manufactured racecar type, or a one off?

It's a one-off, but the builder made other cars.

It's named after the builder. In fact I have found out he built up to 6 of these cars, so I suppose you could call him a small manufacturer, but I think they were built on request rather than as a production run.
