UK car?

The base is a British car but this 'special' was not built in the UK.

You get your first Pro point!
Pity I didn't get the chance to lock it for Nicanary; he provided you with half the answer..

I had got  the answer before so that when I have seen the puzzle in pro I have answered.  I had not seen the Nicanary´s answers when I got the solution but  it is obbious he was in the right way, I had got it only looking for MG specials.
