That would be too easy I guess, but the car was surely inspired by it.

For some reason I think it could be an HRG, but probably not, as I can't find anything to back that up

It's beautiful! Is it a recreation on a vintage chassis? I wonder why the brake drums are bigger on the rear wheels than on the front - maybe this is just an optical illusion.....? ???

It surely is beautiful. Its chassis is not as old as the car looks, but neither a new one.

If not an XK chassis, is it based on an SS Jaguar chassis?

Well if it isn’t an XK or a SS chassis then it would need to be a saloon chassis.

XJ series or earlier?

It is based on a Jaguar saloon chassis earlier than XJ.

Not an SS, or Mk VII - how about a Mk V?
