Ford Capri base then?

Carnut · « **Reply #4 on:** June 29, 2020, 06:19:03 AM »

I don't think there's any Ford connection..

final attempt to guess the base model then, Jaguar XJS?

Carnut · « **Reply #6 on:** June 29, 2020, 09:30:19 AM »

It's a complete one-off creation and isn't really 'based' on anything.
It will of course have used a proprietary engine and no doubt running gear parts, but I don't know what any of them are for certain.
All I'm looking for is the name of the car and its builder.

It's not an animal name at all.

Vantage Supercar by George Broadfoot 1981 Australia

Carnut · « **Reply #17 on:** October 04, 2020, 05:44:23 PM »

Well done, yes, though I believe it's from a year or two earlier than 1981.

Thanks for the point!

Djetset · « **Reply #19 on:** October 06, 2020, 05:59:37 PM »

Does anyone have any additional photos of this car please, including the rear? Thanks.

Article about it

Carnut · « **Reply #21 on:** October 07, 2020, 06:16:05 AM »

I believe it came in 2 versions, an earlier one and this up-dated version, which I have also seen referred to as a Vantage Ecice, but I can't vouch for that name being right..

Here's another rear view:

Thank you for the additional information and images gentlemen, very much appreciated
