Not a Puma, and also not aware of any Mercedes-Benz G-Class connection.

Thanks, Gibbs, a very proper tip.

Jordanian Desert Iris (1999-2001).

This is a photo of the prototype apparently and the production version had rounded fenders probably cheaper to make.

Here is a photo of the prototype.

Edit:  Built by Kaddb, (something King Abdullah) with cooperation with SHP Motorsports of the UK.

Wow there!  Before we all run around getting too excited, this car is not quite the Jordanian Deseart Iris, although it is related.  So, locked to Bill M to find the full correct name of the actual car in the photo (hint; it was not made in Jordan!).

I may have slightly misread the only source I could find at the time, sorry.

Black Iris, made in the UK by SHP Engineering.

Later production was done in Jordan by JSVM, Jordan Specialized Vehicle Manufacturing which was a subsidiary of the King Abdullah outfit. This was the Desert Iris vehicle if I have it straight now.

The UK-based Black Iris by SHP Engineering was the name I was looking for.  Another point to Mr Murray.
