What's this, by whom, from when - for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

This is one of two Jaguars mk7 by Farina. It was named Meteor Jaguar Coupe and commissioned by Joska Bourgeois. The other Mk7 was a drophead.

That's the car!
I also asked for the date when it was built though so if you give me that as well I can give you your point and move this to Solved...

Sorry.
The cars (three in total, there was also an XK120) were conceived in 1951 and finished in 1952 when they were shown in Brussels and Turin.

According to many sources this Michelotti designed car was the last creation of Stabilimenti Farina.

I understood it was the XK120 that was the last (Your reply #14):
