Solved - NEH 1482: 1997 Jaguar Laird Special

What is this car, who built it and when - for 1 point?

Google Image Search 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 Image Search 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!

No, it's not meant to be a replica, more an evocation built on a well-known make of car.

That's the right car and I know where you got that date from, but it isn't correct.
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to find out the true story of this car!

That's it, yes.
Built in 1997 with a Jaguar engine and inspired by the sports racers of the mid/late 1950s.
Well done.
