Just uploaded a 20+ minute drive of the VDP 1500 to my YouTube channel, I was hoping to capture the gearbox grinding noise but of course it didn’t happen, anyway enjoy the many creaks, squeaks and rattles of my VDP 1500

 

 

Re the noise: could it be that one of the brake bands isn't exerting enough pressure when the transmission or oil is cold and is allowing something that should be stationary to turn a bit?  A gear spinning whilst in contact with the band would produce an audible scraping sound.

Leyland Tiger.

Maybe 

Maybe not 

[Weird Car]

Have another clue

This may give it away

[EyesWeldedShut]

Lancia Delta is too smol - as is Ford Puma.
Rather than Leyland Tiger how about a Western SMT Leyland Leopard?
