Those are cosmic wheels - probably British. Maybe based on a Lotus Europa?

You're in the right country, but barking up the wrong car ;)

That's correct - based, as so many other obscure British cars, on the Hillman Imp.

Really?  I've never seen that mentioned before...
Apparently they made 3 of these promisingly-designed cars.
One was auctioned a few years ago so I went along to see one in the fibreglass so to speak.
The car is much smaller than you might imagine.  I'm not big (well, not in height anyway!) but really struggled to fit in; once in I struggled even more to get out!  Driving it would have been incredibly uncomfortable!  One for midgets I think..

The Voodoo was displayed on The Telegraph exhibition stand at the 1971 Earls Court Motor Show in London, but the car wasn't financed by The Telegraph.

I know the owner of one of the surviving Voodoos quite well, and in theory he can make a brand new Voodoo if someone would like one as he has all of the original GRP moulds, etc.  He hasn't made one as yet though!

Hmmm.

While similar, the headlight arrangement is quite different. I wonder if this is unfinished third car, re-worked by a later buyer?
