This car also known as Vauxhall HA Roadster Concept.

That was actually the name I had hence it didn't show on on Searching...
The HA was of course the first Viva from the early 1960's; Vauxhall were keen to have a car to compete with the MGB hence this car's development, which never got any further than the car pictured in the puzzle.

A great looking little car.
It would be many years before that kind of frontal appearance with the front bit sloping at over 45 degrees really caught on.
