Yes! Nobody knows much about this car. However, it had a plaque on the dash which probably was the name of the car - what was it?

I will award 1 point to ropat53 for identifying the base car. There's another point available if someone can tell me the name on the dashboard plaque.

Masters?

I don't think so. I have just tried using several key words but it does not appear.

It was featured in the "lost and found" section of a well-known classic car magazine during the last 6 months of 2023. The question I asked may solve the name of the maker.

Well, quite a bit of it is missing.
