 Could this be a lost prototype?

That is....strangely... disturbing. Many more questions (besides the yellow arrow pointers) like why would the front grille opening be partly filled in? and why was the rear bumper cut and painted, then a removable chrome section put in? and why does the rear window as seen through the front appear to have such straight sides? From the front it looks as if someone was trying to make from a Mini a  4-seat enclosed version of the 1947 bumper car conversion.


Does this poor thing have any chassis numbers etc. to identify it?

Strange combination of parts, new and old! Easy to spot the unique front end but did you notice the tail lights? Boot handle is also strange, is the picture distored or is the rear quarter windows angled?
