It's not a racing car? Is it?

Obviously a special of some sort. Exhaust is the wrong side for a Jaguar six-cylinder, so may be it's a V-8 under there.
Roll-over hoop makes me think it could be Australian, so I'll try a Holden-based special.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

It's more than a special - several of these were made.

It's not Jag-powered, as you surmised. Maybe it is V8!

Finally, it's not Australian or Holden-based

To clarify: this is a road car and to my knowledge has not been raced

Kit car or factory-complete when sold?

I believe that most, if not all, of the 14 examples built were sold in kit form

Australia was already guessed.

How about nearby New Zealand?
