It looks like the Sunbeam Harrington and a little bit like the Marcos 3 lt...but I can't find nothing.   Is it a one-off?

That's it, yes.
Both the Healey Motor Co and Austin developed coupe versions of the 3000 and this one is the Austin-developed one, which was later bought by Healey Motor Co as a second development car.
It still exists in private hands.
