Testa-Rugeye? Looks pretty obviously based on / inspired by the
pontoon-federed Ferrari Testa Rossa from 1957 (250TR?). I think the original

a
Bugeye, but certainly prefer it to an Arkley...

The
snout on the Sprite reminds me of the Moal Coachbuilders Gatto on
the
Autoblog site (autoblog.com). A second cousin twice removed resemblance.
