Ford Fiesta-based, but this is considerably more than just a Fiesta with modified roof and tail gate.

Ginetta G 28
Ginetta is correct, G28 is not. Locked for you to identify the correct model.

Another front view below.
Apparently it was a mid-engined prototype but only one was ever built, although the front-engined Fiesta-based G32 (also pictured below) was produced in a few numbers and looks to me like a development of the G25's design.
