Don't know for sure unfortunately, I have another name but can't confirm that the puzzle car has this engine

Assuming the car was being raced in a historic event when the puzzle photo was shot, did this event take place after 2010 ?

I think this might be an earlier Clubmans racer which has been updated. Those front wings don't look like they started out like that. Early cars of this type had cycle wings, and it's only in recent years that they have used all-enveloping bodies.

Is this a Mallock?

Is it one of Jim Yardley's Beagles? It's not the one he built from his MkIII monoposto, but I can't find photos of the Mk IV and MK V so I'm having a real guess.
