(I thought I answered your question.  I was going to move this up, but I'll give it a little more time here.)

This car has no connection to Monteverdi.

Not Ferrari

So, if the coachbuilder is Italian, does that necessarily mean the car itself is Italian?

Is Ghia/Giugiaro one question?

Not designed by either of them.

Locked for Spider!

This car is in fact a Jaguar.

Now, who designed it, when, and what was it called?

The model is not FT or F.T., and Bertone is not involved.

You are correct Mekubb, and no longer a rookie!  Now all three of the XJ40 concepts have been posted as puzzles.

(Keep a closer eye out for the word "unlocked" in the future)
