This could take a long time. The Zombi was only solved bu sheer chance.

That is a fairly "stock" photo of the Bulldog, and is on several sites - I think it was taken at Goodwood.

"Carnut" has explained what he's looking for - in reality the car is of course the Bulldog, but on the site he's looking for it's claimed to be something else altogether. A fictitious claim.

Meanwhile, I have no idea!

No, check the original question and Reply #3.  It's a photo of the Aston-Martin Bulldog, but what's it pretending to be?  That's the puzzle that needs answering for the point!
