I would guess a Lotus 11 coupe, although I've never seen such a thing.

Your guess would also be incorrect.

As I said before, it is not. It is not a Lotus nor is it related to a Lotus. There is, however, a connection...

I think I know the connection: it was designed by Frank Costin, was it not? The same designer of the Lotus Eleven. Isn't it the 1963 Lister Jaguar GT Prototype?

Nope, it's not. There is no direct connection to the Lotus.

Identify this car correctly for 1 pint - and it's not a repost although a similar car with a similar name has appeared before:

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

This would seem to be a re-post, so if the Rookies don't manage to ID it I'll merge it with the original and not move it up to the Experts..
So come on, you lot!

Since I pointed out the re-post, can I have the promised pint?
