No, not Jaguar-based, and to be honest, this car seems to be a real 'bitza' using bitza of this, bitza of that, and so on...

I could tell you the registration number of the Volvo in the background, but that's not worth a point I guess.  :sigh:

V8-powered one-off with Elise body parts and seats. Can't find a name though.

Mariner?
Forgive me sow reply; my hectic September continues!

This is quiet a find as it is the Mariner, so close enough for a point Wendax, although this example in in fact the Mariner 2, meaning that there must have been a Mariner 1 at some point as well, although I know little about the car as I've not been able to trace its creator. Well done, another point to Wendax.
