bespoke" describes an item with a high degree of "customization", and involvement of the end-user.

Sounds like one of a kind-?

This company bases the car on a real Austin Healey body and chassis. If you want to go down this modern version route this seems much preferable to the Sebring reproductions.

I have only ever seen photos of this one car, so I'm not sure they have made any others yet.

Their website may well limit production to one car on its own!

body on frame construction....probably plastic body?

It looks like Randy's dream car!!! A blend of roth of his passions.

Interesting but sure got that front grille angle all wrong ! Don't see why it is so slanted versus the correct angle. Price of $41,000 but betcha shipping is a bit high from SA !

A little more web research shows that this has been around for awhile. The car was originally built by John Woodley and was Nissan powered. Here's a link to a 1999 version and it is fiberglass bodied. https://www.sedgeclasscars.com/details.php?CarID=736 Woodley later sold the rights to the cars.
