Anybody recognize this car?

It is the british concept car Vauxhall XVR from 1966.

I just KNEW it!

I tried to look this one up last night. I knew I'd seen it before, and although it does a pretty good job of impersonating a Corvette concept, I didn't think that was right. So I went over all the other GM concepts I could think of - including Opel and Holden. How could I forget Vauxhall...?

I figured it might be a bit of a stumper...it's definitely the sleekest Vauxhall I've ever seen.

Good job, SeaLion!

Well, it opens like a Vauxhall XVR..

This one is quite a mistery...I found it with no clues, except for a detail...it looks like a car I know but can't place it...I confess I post it here because I was hoping in an immediate identification from you...

...so?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #9 on:** February 03, 2012, 04:01:20 AM »

I have a name and a place. This name is not new for Autopuzzles...you'll understand when the name will be revealed.

Allemano · « **Reply #10 on:** February 03, 2012, 04:11:06 AM »

What exactly do you like to know? Name of this car? (if it isn't a Vauxhall XVR)
And the place where this photo was made?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #11 on:** February 03, 2012, 08:32:13 AM »

Ok, that's the result of a misunderstanding.

I did not recognize the car when I post it as a puzzle and I thought yours was just an idea...
This car is indeed a Vauxhall XVR and the pic I took cames from an advertising page of a magazine.
The company named in the ad is not Vauxhall, but another one, involved in the project.
Since this company put its name in other cars already featured here, I thought it was another of those.
Now, to keep this puzzle going, could you name this company?
Locked for Allemano untill next reply.

Allemano · « **Reply #12 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:49:40 AM »

A supplier?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2012, 01:35:26 PM »

Yes...

Let's try Triplex (Pilkington).
