And for today's nice red car - what's this and when was it built, for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.

Have fun!

Don't believe there is any Jaguar in it, although I couldn't guarantee that with any certainty.

From the USA, yes, but not plastic-bodied AFAIK.

In the same page where (I suppose) you took this pic you can find another car, already featured here, called MI Sportcar...today, reading the Beaulieu for my index I reached the entry about Whitehead...he designed that car and sold plans for it. Looking for a pic of his car (that is different from the MI) I found this, that I already had on my HD...
