What's this, by whom, from when? For 1 point..

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Austin Healey Sprite?
It should be the Austin Healey Sprite "7080 AC", in the 1969 Targa Florio version, where it ran with John Phillips and Martin Davidson.

Yes, it's a Sprite (I didn't think it looked much like one though..)
Era is right but it's not '7080 AC'; so who built it to look like this and why?
Neither one of those guys mentioned..

Sorry... Jack Wheeler was one fo the drivers at 1969 Targa Florio... he rebuilt the car, I don't know if the chassis is the same... but the body is identical...
