It's Elan-based, but that's a bit too obvious for the point!
Much more info required to solve this one.

Lotus Elan Gt 26 R designed by Barry Wood and built by Shapecraft

Indeed it is one of the 17 Shapecraft Elans built in the early 1960s, built by the London-based coachbuilder Shapecraft.
Well done.

Yes, I saw that before posting but since it wasn't a specific Shapecraft Elan puzzle I considered OK to post it as its own puzzle!
