Clenet (Mercedes-Benz 540K lookalike) made in the USA in the mid to late 1970s/early 1980s and based originally on a Lincoln chassis and drivetrain.

Well you do surprise me.
It looks exactly like a Corsair but with a Clenet badge...
It can't be a Wasil can it?

no. If I´m not wrong, the wings were bought from the person that produced the Corsair.

Well if it's neither a Roaring Twenties Corsair nor a Clenet then I regret to say I'm completely stumped.
Can't find anything that looks anything like close to those two, which look just about identical to your picture apart from perhaps the badge and wheels!
They all seem to be based around an MG Midget body and windscreen incl yours but can't identify it.

no. I think that Desande was British, this is an American one-off

not a Steering Wheels, it´s a one-off. A clue: made by an architect.

I guess that only four letters in the name, plus being a one-off, rules out the Sparks Turbo II?!
