A clue: This is a rebodied car. The car on which it is based is infamous for its builders not exactly being electricians.

A Ferrari Daytona Spider replica based on the Rover SD1?

Electric problems: It have to be british, they have Lucas, "the man who invented darkness".

It is not a replica - and there was no British involvement, neither in the original nor in the redesign.

SeaLion: You, of all people, should know that not all cars with electrical problems are British... ;)

There is no American link, either. And another little clue: The carrossier and the maker of the original car are both from the same country.

No, there isn't - unless you're stretching the term 'FIAT' to its very limits...
