It was scanned from an ad in a magazine.  It's a neat-looking machine.

Whilst I'm tuned in, can I just say that your Avatar scares me everytime I look at one of your fine puzzles.  Too spooky man! :-[

Too raunchy for the Rookies.  Will it prove to be too exotic for the Experts?

No relation to any De Tomaso I'm afraid, so best be quick with another answer, as I can see the Pros are itching to solve this one! ;D

It looks like Peter Rawlinson's custom-designed sports car.

Arunas has it, as it is the Rawlinson Roadster kit car designed by Peter Rawlinson.

An excellent point!  It began life as the Roadster and quickly changed to Imola, (I have a leaflet for both) although I think only one car was ever actually built.  I shall amend the title accordingly.  Thanks.

Apparently Peter Rawlinson has become chief designer at Tesla.

Here's a colour picture of this car:
