This is the Reliant TW9 prototype from 1973. I found a bit of info here - http://www.sporting-reliants.com/Prototypes2.htm
Quote from the above site -
'Following various designs to make a four wheeled version of the Bond Bug, this curious design was built by Ogle Design for Reliant. 
This 2 seater coupe started life as a mock up, but then went on to be used as a styling exercise, before being finished off by a Reliant employee using various spare parts.'

Interesting as that is claimed to be the reg number of the bond...

Although it does look more like one of the early GTM race cars

Not a Bond, and not a GTM either.  Sorry!
