OLF756, a one-off aero-nosed Aston Martin DB2/4. To my knowledge, it's origin is unknown.

Yes, but that much is fairly obvious.
I do have a name for who I understand did the modification, so I do need it to award the point.
However, since you've given me the registration number you clearly know the car, so I'll lock it for you to dig deeper and see if you can come up with the name I have.

Reaslistically, if I was going to get it I'd have it by now. Thanks for locking it - but open it up again please.

OK, open to all again.
If my source proves to be incorrect I'll give you a point in due course.
