What name was given this car, and what powers it?

This vehicle was called a “1905 Invisible Eight”, but was not built in 1905,  It was a modern chassis with a landau carriage body, and powered by a flathead Ford V-8.

4popoid earns a point for the complete answer.

Sadly, I cannot find information about this car, other than the brief info provided in the previous auction listing.

I have an old Aalholm Museum catalogue, in which they say that this car was built by the museum itself using many spare parts from their collection. It was meant as a recreation of those petrol-engined luxury cars of around 1905-1907 which hid the engine in order to compete with electric vehicles in terms of looks and silence.
