It is based around a derivative of the XJ (X300) Majeko, so which precise model, and who built it?  Locked to you for the next 24 hours.

Sometimes in car design the following formula applies: Good proportions and handsome looks are inversely proportional to the amount of money and quality of skilled labour required to build the car.  ;D ;D

It was built by Sbarro, and is said to be based on a Daimler XJ8.
I'm not sure about the actual name, but I found it as Sbarro VIP limousine.

Well done Morphly, the answer is close enough for a point.
