The headlights and directionals are not well integrated into the body. Looks like they were added after the car was built.   Strange.

I was thinking the same. It's a pretty little car, but the front end looks unfinished.

So the make, model, and year is?

That's pretty much what happened.  They redid the nose.

I knew there was a link to a Rootes Group product from the wheel trims but couldn’t find the car.

For me, the big clue was the car int he background.  It looked like some sort of manufacturer's display, so if you know the one if the back is a TVR Trident,  so if you Googled "TVR" and "Fissore" (the coachbuilder responsible for the Trident prototype), this is one of the first results.
