This company did not build kitcars, as far as I know.
Their best known production model is much more different than the puzzle picture this is why it is such mysterious.

My source is anything, but reliable. I don't know for sure what is this car, but the subject of the puzzle is now changed according to the solution you found.

I think it is NOT Sinclair, but the Japanese car.
