Erm, is it the Porcus Volans (probably spelt that incorrectly)? If so, it's a one-off aluminium-bodied Ford Anglia (E93A type) constructed in the early '50s. I seem to recall it being Spanish. The car was reanimated in the UK a few years ago and I believe it now lives in Italy.

Excellent!
I have no idea if it's Spanish, I thought it was British. It was owned at one point by Malcom McKay. Oh, you spelt it correctly!
I was hoping this on would stick around for a bit longer....
