Has the look of a Milan about it but I'm a bit out of touch these days.

Yes, that's a Milan, with something of a letterbox windscreen compared with the usual motorbike visor style race hood.

Talking of Milans... it seems likely that I will soon be placing an order for one (and cancelling my order for a QuattroVelo). This is due to an excess of lard and dodgy arm which make getting in and out of the QV too difficult and the tiller steering too uncomfortable (arm is too bent for comfort for me). I sat in a Milan SL the other day and although it was too small, I was able to get out unaided. The Milan GT is for bigger people.

I will still keep Penelope as she is the ideal runabout velomobile.

I am now having to see if any of the neighbours can rent me a garage or other storage area...
