British?

It was built in the UK from mainly British parts. Some overseas input.

The car was campaigned with various sized engines, none of which were less than 1500cc..

Could it be the 1964 Fisher Alfa Special which had a close affinity to a Lotus but used a variety of Alfa engines, currently a 2000cc one.

Well it just could be! Jack Fisher built a whole bunch of one-offs - he was an Edinburgh Alfa dealer hence the choice of engine. There were a lot of Lotus 41 parts in the car, including that front bodywork. The car competed 1964-1970, mainly in Formula Libre.
