It looks an awful lot like a Ginetta G12.

This one is difficult. So it should be in the Pro section!

Not Scottish either, I'm afraid (despite the tartan livery). And the bodywork was not done by Ginetta.

No, not Australian, this one. Geographically, I have to say that's the worst guess thus far. Shamrock's, on the other hand, is the best.

I honestly think the tartan colours play the part of the red herring in this puzzle. But it's not Canadian, either, and not Icelandic. Both of those guesses are further away from the truth, geographically, than Scotland.
