Tell me all you can about this car to gain a point.

Surprised that this one has not generated any responses so far, but I am sure this will now change at the Expert level.

Does anyone know who built it?

Does anyone know who built it?

That photo Grobmotorix posted is in Rivers' book "More Motor Racing" with the caption " Freddie Owen building the body for the author's single-seater Jaguar" and in the text he refers to "a single-seater Jaguar which Bill Moss built for me."
Freddie Owen's other work was the subject of http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2010-38/solved-mjw-005-owen-jaguar-special-1962/msg119640/#msg119640 but I can't be as easily helpful about Bill Moss. I expect it was the same Bill Moss who had a garage business in Luton and was the owner and racer of ERA R5B (Remus) before the late Pat Lindsay.

Thank you!

i have this car here in Denmark - had it since 1997

That's interesting and thanks for telling us. That sort of car often disappears from view when its original owner passes it on unless there is an obvious inheritance. We in UK often forget that Denmark has a good many enthusiasts for unusual British cars.
A great pity that Denmark is now so much further away from the UK than it was in 1997, if you see what I mean.
