The body is all fibreglass.

Maybe the wheels are 356 Porsche?

I only know who built it and what was the engine.

You say "most" of the internals - so is the engine not American?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

No.

The basis components were taken from a very well known car.

Not aircooled, so it is not a Porsche or VW engine.

And it is not a Frazer-Nash.

But this last guess hit the right country.

You say that underneath the body is a Jaguar. So what I now say is stupid, but I have to get it out of my mind - is the chassis a Kurtis?

I do not think so.
But I´ll check when I´m back home.

Most of its mechanical parts and the engine are taken from a Jaguar XK.

Now I´m quite sure that Kurtis parts were not involved.
