I'd say yes, but as the source was only saved on my office computer and I'm having a week off, the definite answer will have to wait till next Monday.

Presented as a '1974 Viking Tourer' based on a Morris Marina.

In the early 1980s, Classic Cars of Coventry/Viking Cars produced a somewhat similar car called the 'Viking 380' (Jaguar XJ6 bits mated to a custom chassis), but this looks like something else entirely.

Thanks for the point!
