if memory serves the original car that this kit is trying to duplicate is a version that marcos did on the mini, hence the minicos as mini marcos had already been used

Forgot all about the marcos, i think that predates the 3 door as well, so maybe it was ford owners ripping off the minis when they start calling their sierras as cosworths
it came out about the a year or so before the turbocharged ERA mini and was one of the designs that inspired ERA aledgedly

HTH
Well the ERA came out on an F plate officially, but was in development for a while before that obviously, with the first road going version being an E reg, so if it was only a year before that the mini marcos came out then maybe ford just pipped mini to the "cos" tag.
