It was also called the Fino, powered by a Corvette V8.

You are still on the same track, but you don't come any closer.

In that case I'm stumped, because this looks identical to the British Candy Apple car, an original design by ex-racing driver Peter Ashdown, which is now sold by V8 Archie in the USA.

Don't worry, I don't hate you.  However, Candy Apple Car's roadster version was still called the Finale, as oppossed to the Finale GT, which was the coupe version.

On a website I found they was just calling it "Roadster" as opposed to the Fino and Finale.
The website was from a distributor or the guys behind the scene as well, couldn't say.

Nothing to add.

The wing is from a Finale, so it would be Finale Roadster.
Or perhaps you're interested in V8 Archie Finale Roadster?

V-8 Archie Roadster

That's the name I was looking for. (I took the photo from their official website)

Actually on that website, despite referring to this car as to the "Roaster", they also mention that a Roadster version of both the Fino and the Finale is available, so I think the name is actually incorrect, due to a poor text in that website.

That said, I won't die for this point ;D
