Hard to answer without giving it away. Let's say it this way: it was not built as it was initially supposed to be.

[Carnut]

It's European but RHD; does that mean it's British, as I can't think of any other European car-producing nations which drive on the left apart from Ireland?

[Wendax]

was it a prototype sketch for a well-known british car co.?

I did not deny that it was British, because it is British! It was just not a design sketch for a well-known British car company.

[Carnut]

By a design studio, like Ogle?

[Wendax]

No, by an independent designer
