    Ford Popular/Anglia. Popolino? :)
    I added a couple of inches to the nose to stop it looking too stubby.
    Also the other main thing is stretching the rear fenders back to meet the back of the 'bustle', so they visually match the length of the fronts. I think Henry was trying to save metal, as the original rear wings are pretty sawn off looking.

    Someone in Australia was building an Anglia coupe, many years ago, I can't remember if it was a 3 or a 5 window... Cool concept.

    Could be done relatively easy using a Simca/Fiat 500 roof.

    There have been a few in the UK over the years, to varying degrees of success.
