A nice easy Christmas present for 1 lucky Rookie (and this car has not appeared before as a full puzzle picture in its own right, for those who are about to shout "re-post"!):

One of the greatest kit cars of all time. The Fiberfab Jamaican!

One point for who knows this car.

Experts?

Hezza · November 21, 2010, 02:09:07 PM

There's one of these sitting about a mile from my home, almost a twin to the red car. It looks to be pretty nicely finished, and may in fact be for sale. I'll take a photo the next time I'm over that way.

Name the car and the year and from which car is the motor?

Carnut · December 11, 2011, 01:13:52 PM

Also resized!

Fiberfab Jamaican I, probably with an Austin Healey chassis and motor. 1967?

Facel's reply awaited?

Facel · January 05, 2012, 03:04:46 PM

Sorry, I didn't know it was a repost.

And yes, it is a Fiberfab Jamaican with a Austin Healey 100 Six motor.
Point for crook.

Three different cars merged into one thread: Carnut's Jamaican is based on a MGA chassis, which makes it a close relative to Facel's Jamaican based on an Austin-Healey. Those were two of the three chassis options the Jamaican started with, the third one being a Triumph chassis. Later a version was offered which could be built on a VW Beetle chassis. Finally the V8 came on a tubular chassis built by Fiberfab itself. That's Amsterdam's puzzle car.

So to complete this agglomeration of different versions, here is a VW-based Jamaican II, said to be the only one in Europe:
