Please tell me a few things about this car. When it was built? Where (country)? Identify its engine. So far this is one point.
Unfortunately I don't know the name of its builder. So if you can identify him/her and supply proof - there's going to be a second point flying in your direction.

Experts?

Well I don't know for sure but...

It looks like a rebodied cobra replica, there is certainly a V8 under the bonnet and the wheels / tyres look very cobra styled.

Can't be british as 1. it is left hand drive and 2. there is no way you would get that through the IVA/SVA testing process (front suspension would immeadiatly fail).

I'll have a guess at being American.

Let's see. Nothing to do with Cobra. There's no V8 under the hood and it is not from the US of A

Well, the colors have been slightly changed to fool GSI, so in short: not from Africa
