Aaargh....I know I saw it somewhere and not long ago!

I can't help thinking of an SS90 - it's that radiator shell. Is this a British-built car?

There's a sort of connection there..
It's not British-built, but as I said in another puzzle I'm trying to avoid the geographical questions, especially in the Pro's section, as they can be a dead giveaway..

Indeed it is!  Well remembered.
I believe it's the first car de Joux built, which would date it from the early 1960s if true.
