Could it be a Maclaren by any chance.

I think the colour orange is probably co-incidental, but yes, the base car is a Mclaren!

I won't be difficult and say there was no Mark IV  ;D, but I know what you mean. Yes, it's based on an M4.

I think you may know what it is so I'll LOCK this puzzle for Mogul.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. Well found.

It was originally a Formula B car , but converted by Jon Rhodes into a sports-racer.
