Sorry but the puzzle is locked for norberthanke to have one go at identifying it correctly.
Only if he doesn't get it right then can I open it again.

No, not by them.
And I can answer smodmog that it's not a French-bodied SS100 either.

That's it, yes.
I haven't been able to find out who built it but I can tell you it's for sale in the UK at the moment for £95,000 if you fancy it!

£95,000 is an awful lot of money for a modified Royale Sabre kit car!
