I'm getting frustrated with this one. I'm thinking about the actual designated model names - is it an XK120 or an XK120C ? Maybe it was rebodied locally after a race crash.

Ignore the above - it's a stupid question, since I have a book recording the fate of all XKC cars. I just cannot find an image of this car - it seems to be at a classic car meeting or rally of some sort, since it carries a rally plaque, and is standing next to an Edwardian landaulette of some kind. Usually , photos from these meetings finish up on Flickr or similar sites, and then onto Google Images. But there's nothing.

Is your puzzle picture from a French image site ?

I will admit I have been looking for help on this puzzle. I contacted the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club but they could not help - They know about the "Barou Barchetta" and have a French-language reference book about XK specials, but they do not recognise the puzzle car. Oh dear.

I may have to give up this time.

Interesting. All I can come up with is Prototype Speciale Turckheim. It seems a bit unlikely.

It could stand for Papeterie Schwindenhammer Turckheim, the company led by Jacques Schwindenhammer.
