The wishbones look very similar to a Deon - which was originally a Lancia Beta front upright used at the rear of the Deon and a FIAT 124 front upright used at the front of the Deon. But your front Classic Replicas upright will therefore have had a 164 rear hub adapted to it (or maybe an Alfa 75 V6 front hub - 98mm PCD hub or FIAT 2300 or Dino 108mmPCD???).

Hi Ross
An article on the Classic replicas Dino in the Complete Kit Cars magazine of March 2008 states that the front and rear hub carriers/stub axles are from the MGF, modified to the Alfa 5 stud PCD of 5x98mm.
This is the only information I have but I know a someone who is building a De Havilland Dino which uses the MGF as a donor so I'll see if I can compare pictures with his to confirm.
