It seems each of his cars used a different base.

The car participated in some rallyes before it was transformed into an Aurelia GT lookalike, but I wouldn't call those rallyes well known.

Earlier and I don't know whether just amateurs took part. Some must have taken it serious as you can see by another contestant:

Are those triangular graphics nautical 'burgees', which might indicate a coastal based rally?

I don't think so. The rallye took place around 200 km away from the coast.

After a second look: the Northern coast seems to be even closer.
