It looks like a Fiberfab Jamaican, a fiberglass kit car popular(?) back in the 60s and 70s. You could put the fiberglass body on a number of frames, including Austin-Healey. Putting a V8 into it and calling it an Austin-Healey Jamaican isn’t a lie, but it is awfully cheeky to ask £75,000.00 for it. Maybe the race history is worth a lot.

Here’s a stash of them:
