At first glance this might appear to be a re-post, but I don't believe it is.
So what is it, by whom, what's its nickname and when does it date from - for 1 point?:

Of course they're only easy if you know the answer or are a real Jaguar expert; I'd forgotten you were still a Rookie so it has turned out to be an easy one (for  you!).

So now we have had all three of the Stabilimente Farina Jaguars of the period; the other 2 are as per the links below, the second of which also shows a photo of all 3 together at the same show.  This puzzle car is the one on the far right as we look at the picture, the DHC.

Only one more point to go and you will be an Expert!

It's by Stabilimenti Farina, isn't it? Not Pininfarina.
