This is a car built by Nick Butler called the Gold Cirrus, but is also sometimes called the Cirrus Gold or the Nick Butler Cirrus. As far as I am aware it was a one-off but it has been resprayed in different colours.

Very well done! Not much information is available on this car - I had it filed as just the Cirrus. A deserved point!
