Not Mini-based, but related.

Yes, it’s a British kit. The car in the background is a Pilgrim Bulldog.

I found something like Status Minus Maxi
That's close enough for me, as this is Brian Luff's first iteration of the Minus Cars Maxi (BMC 1100/1300-based), with a second Minus Maxi model with a different body, based on the Mini. Well done, the point is yours.
