Don't know who the driver was (I think it passed through Autofarm's hands ~ mid '90's) but it's the 1991 Brighton Speed Trials ...

It's all on film here (along with two or three RSs, a couple of Turbos and a 911E).

Difficult to hear the commentary, but you can see this car around 2h 30m into the film. The name sounds like 'Mike Corsler' or 'Corsland'. Does that ring any bells?

It's not a name that I recall, but there were many competitors back then who did Brighton, and maybe Weston Speed Trials, but didn't compete in the general Hilclimb & Sprint world.
It definitely looks like an Autofarm car of the 80's/90's

AI I think, the driver would be leaning into the centre of the car?

Interesting, so a kit car, hence the 'VW Beetle' DVLA listing...

Visual details all the same bar the bumper, but there are slots in the body so prob same car used for the image creation. Driver looks like he is falling out!
