It's a Moss Roadster kit-car, based on a Herald or Vitesse chassis. It's difficult to tell from the photo whether it's the standard Roadster or the 4-seat Malvern Roadster.

The car continued production for many years through different owners after Moss stopped trading, including Hampshire Classics and the Moss Owners Club.

I can see the similarities, but it is not a Moss.

I was tempted to say British kit car - but judging by the shape of the blanked out numberplate perhaps not?

You observed that well. It is not British.

Wow. Now that is one rare car - the only reference I can find in writing or by image says it's the prototype and only one of its kind.
