Sheesh ... I was asleep at the switch! Yes, that green car in your posit IS a Magnette Mk III or Mk IV. And, I think Pininfarina did the ink work on them.
A designer named Gordon Palmer did the earlier ZA and ZB Magnettes (like mine) and probably drew heavily from things and ideas that were already in the MG and Austin parts bins. There was also a Wolseley variant that was quite similar.

A better pic of the 14" Empis on the front of the Bugeye. The front hubs were re-drilled to fir the 4x4.5 lug pattern. Modifying the rear hubs or replacing the rear axle altogether is going o be a bit of a project.

Those EMPI wheels look fantastic. It will be worth it.
