At last!
A Rookie solves a puzzle intended for Rookies!

I thought it looked so good I wanted to post this before it became too well known to feature on AutoPuzzles.
You didn't actually give me the builder as I asked but you nearly did with the David Brown; he calls his company David Brown Automotive but he's nothing to do with the David Brown who bought Aston Martin back in the 1940s.  He's started with this car, a modern interpretation of the DB5/6, but I believe his intention is to do the same thing with other classics.

Here are some more pictures:

Hmm, for me the jury is out on this one.  It's an almost-but-not-quite sort of car, that I want to like, but can't quite bring myself to.  Perhaps it's the odd proportions (and this coming from a Bristol owners hey!  )

I know what you mean, but I'm a fan of car-shaped cars and this is definitely one of those!
I find today's supercars rather contrived looking with all their sharp angles, grooves, wings, scoops and blobby-shaped lights.  I would call very few of them beautiful.
