Well done! This was a tough one

Yes it was. I had to ask Mr. Trickett himself :D
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

This is what Neville has to say about this car. Not much, but still a first-hand info :)

"Hi Pawel, I believe I know what you are referring to. Early in 1967, having left Rob Walker's (and with the MiniSprint project sold by Geoff Thomas to Stewart & Arden) I was approached by David DaSouza and asked to design a sectioned mini hatchback. The prototype was built in a garage at Codford near Warminster owned by one 'Todd' Sweeney. From my recollection it was known as a'Codford conversion' I  think two were built but I never saw a finished car, or even heard of it again until your email!   with kind regards, Neville."

It's the Codford Mini, another Neville Trickett design.
I'm quite sure we've seen it here before though.
It's as much fun to scare as to be scared

You're right on both scores; it has featured here before, but I didn't find it because I had a slightly different name (Coxford) and since I'd bever heard of the Codford I never found it.

No matter, you get your point but I've merged them..
