One-off homebuilt special by a gentleman in Rushden, Northamptonshire, England circa mid 1970's. Engine is mid-mounted transverse in-line 6 cylinder from BL Princess, as is transmission and car given the name "Furia".

All correct so far, very well done.
And what was his name to answer all the questions in full?

That's him, yes, so another point for you.

Some more pics of the car, including an unmodified version of the puzzle picture:

Er no thanks!

In the feature on this car the writer is wondering whether Fiore was involved in its design, as he thinks it resembles the TVR Trident, particularly around the front, and the later Bill Last Tridents Clipper and Venturer.
I can't see any resemblance at all myself...
