Is this car a one-off? Has its builder been mentioned here before?
This car - sold as a customer-completed kit, and which could also be licensed for road use - was not a one off, but it was produced in low numbers. The company that built it was founded by a designer who was involved in crafting a later, low-production numbers car based on a production car built on another continent. The later, low-production numbers car he help bring to market is featured in a solved puzzle here at AutoPuzzles.

Bruno - studhamsmudger had until later this morning to craft his answer. Since you are new, I'll forgive this infraction.
If BMC
and Henry's firm
Had gotten together
a phrase might they turn?
Giacolot designed by Barry Lock? The name may also be Giacomol?
No
To your earlier post, Ford and BMC? Any colour you like as as it's rust?! ;D
Anyway, this wouldn't be a Matich creation would it?
Is that a person or a company? The spelling is similar to that of a constructor associated with one of this car's creators.
The Matich I'm refering to was both a person (Frank Matich, Aussie racing driver) and a small-scale car production company.
No, then.
I've given you a little clue with my previous reply.
Don't suppose it's a Maverick?
Marina?
No, getting colder...
Leyford GT from 1969. Should've listened to your clue earlier
:cheer: :drink: Hooray! 522 days later, we have a winner! :drink: :cheer:
That's worth 2 points
Dooh, I totally missed that obvious clue! Intrigued to now know though what the link/person is that sounded a bit like Matich?
Leyland - Ford - that's what Otto was referring to - methinks.
Though I followed the other clue, the Giacottolo one and that's how I found it.

Leyford engineer Barry Lock later founded Kaditcha, a builder of open-wheel and sports-racer cars. As I now realize woodinsight ID'd Lock (but not the car), I'm throwing a bonus point his way.

All pics missing since the big crash. This body of this car is rumored to be based on the J&S Hunter. I found this image of the Leyford GT, taken in 2012:
