Ugly front end in my opinion but I hadn't see one of these before. Some angles look like a Peugot to me:

I've never seen one either. Thanks for posting! I get the Peugeot comparison. I get a little Fiat from it too. I kind of love the seriousness of the dash. Not pretty, but purposeful - look at all those gauges!
A little research shows that it's a Welsh car (thus the dragon emblem on the grill), and the only make to be fully birthed in Wales. The engine is a 3.0 liter Ford V-6 that supposedly produced 135 hp. Leaving that engine output aside, it looks like the bulk of the engine weight is situated behind the front wheels. I wonder how it handles?

Thanks for sharing! Britain has its share of oddball cars. Gordon-Keeble, Reliant, Greyhound, Marcos, Peerless etc.
Yeah, rear suspension is solid axel, that ford V6 had some pretty high output versions
Dashes with lots of gauges, levers and toggle switches are cool. Has a James Bond feel
Someone spent a fair amount of time on that restoration at some point. I like it and agree with 150-160hp, it could be quite fun... Definitely unique
