The red car was spotted at the Beaulieu Autojumble in September 2010. It may be fitted to a old MG chassis e.g. TA or similar. The P1000 looks good, if rather confusing, with the MGA grille and windscreen. The target 90-inch wheelbase is 4-inches too short for MGA.
I don’t know much about the Peel but I believe they made fibreglass boats as well as fairings for motorcycles and then went on to make the worlds smallest car, the P50 microcar.
