A 1958 Jaguar XK150-S, with a Fiberglass body from Long Beach California's  A.F Auto Body Tech.
I found your pic in a website filled of mistakes like: "1958 Classic Jagvar Road-star", "1957-58 C-tape Jaguar" "made out of Iber-glass" "auto body panels are made of lighter weight Faber-glass" ...no wonder why it took several sessions of Googling!
This is the only front view:

Yes, you're right, that's exactly what it is.
Just referring to my files I see it actually has a Ford V8 now rather than the original Jaguar engine, so my earlier reply wasn't quite right.
