The back lights look as if they were taken off a Citroen.

They are from a Citroën CX. And the engine is probably a 1220 ccm Citroën GS unit placed in the rear of the car. The car's mirrors could be from a CX (used at a lot of different cars), and in the background of the picture there is a Citroën 2CV.
But the car is probably not french, as the steering wheel is on the right hand side of the car.

You are on to something there...

Bradley GT or other VW based kit car perhaps?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not a kit car. This is a one-off special, occasionally featured in auto hobbyist magazine articles.

Ginetta?

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir.

OK, Pro's and Rookies, let's get some of this old inventory out of here! 

This car's moniker is twist on a quite ordinary alphanumeric designation.

Correction: Further research has uncovered that slightly less than a dozen of these rear-engined wonders were built.

Suprisingly, this design was penned in the 1950's...

If ever there was a puzzle for the pantheon of puzzlers, this be that puzzle.

Maybe a profile shot will help?

I think I've found this one - it's the Toohey 2E, conceived way back when but actually completed in 1973 in Australia

[Otto Puzzell]

 Wow! I thought this one was going to remain unsolved forever. Nice sleuthing, sir!

This may look anoying but I ask for information about the cars that could be really hardly found online.. It may also look that I post this request in all thread but it really isn't.. Please pay no attention for my request if You:  don't know nothing about the car, simply doesn't want to share any information or just find this request annoying.. However, I believe that asking for any details is not forbidden

I meant about the same as ImpishGrin, Arunas, don't take it too hard. And beware of the linking ban.

All the information one needs to find extensive details (via Google or your search engine of choice) is contained within this thread.

Sorry, Otto. The only thing I could find using all these keywords that could be in this thread and many others I though could be useful resulted in finding only the name of this vehicle mentioning it as a gullwing... 

Let's take for example the MAX.. When Paul Jaray told that the car was in fact MAX Roadster I easily managed to find the information was looking for.. Its is a small detail but without it the search could be extremely complicated
