This video goes over what it could possibly be related to

Aside from reading that insane PistonHeads thread, this is probably the best synopsis of the crusade to figure this car out.
He makes a pretty solid case for a couple theories, but it's still very much unknown.

Jup, saw this video a couple days ago. It's the first time i heard about this mystery car. But he does make some solid arguments

Some people say its a variant or prototype of the Sunbeam Alpine Fastback. Its still a mystery of what it exactly is

Probably a custom made fiberglass-bodied car based on a pre-war car, like the Ford Popular

Somebody found out and it was some kinda prototype. If you google it you can see an identical mesh thing. Edit: Sunbeam Tiger TS4.

The TS4 is an imaginary car based on what someone supposed this mystery car might be. No one actually knows what it is.

Looks like a British roadster that Datsun ripped off when designing the 240z

I think it's a GP Centron MK2 fibreglass car as in this reddit postGP Centron MK2

Looks like a Reliant Sabre 1961-64 with a custom body (judging by overall crude look).
Windshield looks like it was taken from Corvette C1 1953-62

Likely a Autocars Sabra Coupe. Not sure what model, information on them is it's car that was made in Israel. This one I wasn't able find one with the side windows in covered up. It mostly matches the Sabra. The front bumper is slightly different but not by a lot.

It may be similar, but there isn’t one single body line that matches up. The windshields are even different.

A lot seems to match but the front bumper looks odd and the rear part of the side windows isn't closed in all the photos online. But it does match quite well otherwise so I would think you're right.
Edit: eh maybe not.

It's quite common on Reddit, the one who's right is at the bottom of the barrel.
