A couple of 'Name That Car' Pictures
Discussion
I've seen both before.
The top one I think was a GTM or similar type that was shown at a show but never made it into production.
The bottom one IIRC was a 1950's Testarossa inspired car called the Monza or something similar. It was around the time that Lee Noble was building his original P4 replica before he moved on to the Ultima I think. It might even be connected, or someone like Gardner Douglas or RAM trying to do something other than a Cobra.
ETA
This is the car I think I was thinking of and it's not quite the same.

The first was a prototype made by Midtec as a replacement for the Midas Bronze. I can't remember the name and it will take me some time to find it in my archives.
I remember talking to the guys developing who were very enthusiastic but I believe it never got beyond a rolling chassis/body.

Totally right and it was called the ExcelsiorI remember talking to the guys developing who were very enthusiastic but I believe it never got beyond a rolling chassis/body.

shown at the Harrogate Kitcar Show in 2004 (probably where I saw it)

Nope. The Excelsior WAS the Midas successor. Hugh is right with what he says, if he could just get the name..... 
It used Fiesta bits and Sierra and was, I believe, RWD......
Midtec Calico - first shown at the NEC in 1994. It used Fiesta bits and Sierra and was, I believe, RWD......
Corsa headlights but mainly Ford rwd running gear (Sierra?). A very ambitious specification, including driver's airbag and central locking.
