I don't think he built it to gain a point.  I think it was a means of releasing inner strife and turmoil, bad karma and negativity....sorta like Primal Scream therapy.

Enuff said..I'm outta here for a while.

Is it really a sports car or a (kit) car made to look so?

It has been made to look like a competition car, but it has never raced.

Citroen RUO 197 - 1974 Citroen (Dyane) Single Seat Racing Car at Fleetwood Tram Sunday 2013 (Lancashire UK)
"It's a Dyane 1974 Dynane - left hand drive so the gear change is on the right, the engine is 600cc, the builder tells me they had 100 mph out of it on a test track. all I can say is that it does 70 mph easily on the motorway and is very stable at that speed. Cornering is slightly heroic, brake, drop a gear and give the steering wheel a yank it slides easily round a tight bend. the car is incredibly light, the back end is the nose cone of an aeroplane"
"the car won the runners up Mayors choice prize in Cat A"

Well done, you've found the car.  Now, to gain the point, you just need to find out who built it.  Locked to you for 48 hours.

I suppose that depends on the time of day, and in which other activities he is involved.  ;)
