Made in the UK, but was it meant to look like an American car?

It’s in an American neo-retro style, but I think it’s trying to look like a pre-war Mercedes!

"neo retro", implying this wasn't made in 30-40, but much newer? Guessing 80s-90s?

Yes, it’s post-war, but slightly earlier than the 1980s-90s.

So part of the name of this new-classic has an American car brand?
