Well the grill looks like a Mercedes but the rest of the body looks very home built?

It's home-built all right, but with no Mercedes mechanical parts that I am aware of.

What can we say about it besides that it is not the best looking car ever (..) ? So how about an english base car ?

Yes, British base.

the car is obviously built on a Jaguar chassis probably XK120 with drum brakes and still has the twin carb XK motor and XK120 roadster windscreen set up

I'm afraid I don't have anything else.
Pictures like this often appear on a website reporting on a particular event, and are just captioned as a Special based on whatever they are (in this case a Jaguar XK120).  Occasionally it will mention the name of the builder too, but not on this occasion when there were only the 2 pictures I've posted and info that is already given.  I would also like to know more if anyone else knows!
