Banjo, Are they related to Frito-Lay? It's a "CHIP" car!!

 

[catfood]

The cars origins are in the UK and it is not snack food related!

 

[Basil]

Movie or TV show related?

It isn't a Marcos but there is a Marcos connection. Anyway I'm off into the garage now so it'll give you a few hours to think about it! JP was on the right track

Looks like I was pipped. The car was designed in 1969 by Dennis and Peter Adams, former Marcos designers and was used in Kubricks 'Clockwork Orange'. Powered by a tweaked an Austin 1800cc engine.
