It looks like an MG A transformed in an AC Cobra, but I have no more idea about who, whom, where.

Is it a Peninsula Supersnake ? That 's possibly the worst Cobra 427 replica I've seen - why bother when for a few more quid you could have a real one ?  ;D
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

..because this is what it is!
I don't know who built it, but it belongs to a Michael Brose, who lives in Virginia.
It's a 1960 MGA but has a 1966 Ford 289 cu in V8 which Mr Brose has been busy twin-turbocharging!
It just known as the MGA Cobra.
