Take a Mikrus chassis, put a Broadspeed mini´s rear end and a Citroen DS-style roof on it and - voila...

Well, might be british, then?

This looks very much like the Hillman Imp prototype known as "The Slug"  from 1955.

It's the Slug, one of the prototypes for the Hillman Imp. Apparently powered by a Citroen 2CV engine in the rear

Sorry my mistake, there was was an initial version with a body by the Bacon Sheet Metal Company powered by a 2CV engine. This is one of two slightly later versions with a Villiers 600cc  flat twin and body by Pressed Steel.

The unmistakeable figure of engineer and test driver Mike Parkes.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
