Easy rookie point. What car is this. Who built it? What powers it?

 :o That didn't take long. Correct on all points. There is something unique about this car. Can you tell me what it is?

Not sure what you are looking for, but the grill on this car is significantly different than the production models.

I realize I was a little vague...

This is the only Tiger with an automatic transmission.

I know this one had an automatic, but I didn't realize that this was the only Tiger with one.  I guess that is why I never saw a Tiger with an automatic!
