ADO70 was conceived by Harry Webster as a fun car for the US market. However, the project foundered when the prototype met with an apathetic reaction
by Leyland's management, and the required funds were not forthcoming. Although generally known as the Michelotti Mini, it should be noted that
it was built - rather than designed - by the Italian company.

Immediate background vehicle is the Austin Ant. Never went into prod'n. Was supposed to be the 1100/1300 equivalent of the Moke.
It appeared on TV (decades ago) in an event called Autopoint; London Auto Club vs the Army (who fielded tanks, Saracens and some very interesting
prototypes).
As to the main pic, IIRC it was one of the design studio proto models, for a sports version of the 1100/1300.

The pic title revealed when I did a "save as" was a bit of a giveaway 
At my age, cheating is not only acceptable, it's essential
BTW, is that Gaydon museum ?

Not quite though not a million miles away. Too hard really.
It's a 1955 Vincent

Chucked it in for the BEC boys, just to show nothing is ever really new. Beat the CEC MG's with 117mph in 1955
