Since I can't find it and everyone else is throwing out random questions, I might as well too.

Vauxhall?

Not Vauxhall or Alvis.

This car is from a small production run of race cars built by a famous British marque in the 1950s. Every autopuzzler knows these cars, although this one has less of a family resemblance than most of the others. It still exists today, in a very similar (though not identical) configuration.

This isn't a coupe version of the Daimler Conquest, is it?

It is an Aston Martin DB3 Coupe. At all, 10 DB3 were built. The only one that had a coupe body from the beginning was DB3/7, although it appears to have an altered grill today, but the rest of the body looks identical.

Well done Wendax, this is DB3 #7. Not the best looking of the DB3s but interesting nonetheless
