That's the name I was looking for.

I wonder if this is the very same car that was featured in Djetset's #68?:

I guess it is, this one was found as an unfinished shell a few years ago. Also, I wonder how many others exist? Only a very small handful were built, one a coupe (which i'd like to see a picture of if anyone has one.....)

Here you are:
The 2nd one should be actually a SR-100 with an hardtop.

According to Sorrell Engineering, the Sr-100 was available in either Roadster, Competition and Coupe, the Sr-190 as a Coupe only.
