I think a bit of better taste wouldn't harm this car's builder either... Jeeeezz!!

It's a one-off, self-built kit car, isn't it?

Joao was right, it's a one-off. But Giles gets the point for correctly identifying it.

The owner is finnish but he moved to england so he could build the car (if I am to believe the article about it....) I think he was looking to move country anyway!

So, it really has a Jaguar V12 underneath the hood? The XJS-V12 unit?

Yes, it's a V12 from a Jaguar XJS. Lots of other parts are used from the same donor as well - transmission, brakes, axle etc.

To paraphrase the article Giles refers to more closely, the owner wanted to see more of the world and chose the UK because it's possible to register a self-built car here.
