Ans how about a red car for a change?  What's this, from when and who was responsible for it?
For 1 point...

Lyrad GT Mk. 1
Canadian car made in 1967 and described as a "one-off"
The automobile was built by Darryl Townsend
The seats are from a series one XKE
However the rear axle, suspension with lever shocks are early Sunbeam Alpine series one.
The cowl (including inside the engine compartment - the aluminum panel covers Alpine hood latch indentation), windshield, doors, and windows are series one Alpine.
An early Alpine Sunbeam was the chassis and start of the Lyrad. It was lengthen to accommodate the Jaguar engine.
The front nose was modeled from a Lotus race car.
