Saw this one reciently when trying to solve one of SACO's puzzles, but I had some trouble finding it again.

Its a Bentley Mk.VI with a one off body by Pedro Serra , Spain.

Built originally for the Marquis of Caralt.

You're right, it is.
I've looked for pictures of it in all its original glory but haven't been able to find any.
Perhaps someone with the Serra book could scan and post one?

Best I can do is add a front view in its pre-restoration state:
