Looks a lot like the rear of a big Austin Healey. And a nose from Pininfarina.

Otto Puzzell · January 30, 2007, 11:24:49 AM

It is neither of those.

D-type · January 30, 2007, 04:59:24 PM

Fiat 8V

Otto Puzzell · January 31, 2007, 04:24:00 AM

No sir.

Allan L · January 31, 2007, 01:14:47 PM

Touring Superleggera body?

Otto Puzzell · January 31, 2007, 03:18:02 PM

No sir. Arthur was the closest so far, though not too close.

Rich · January 31, 2007, 03:20:23 PM

looks like a coupe version of an Ace Aceca....

Allan L · January 31, 2007, 06:31:26 PM

Another special-bodied MG T-type?

Otto Puzzell · February 01, 2007, 03:18:55 AM

Not an AC or an MG

Ultra · February 01, 2007, 03:51:55 AM

French?

Otto Puzzell · February 01, 2007, 04:06:25 AM

Not French.

Triumph?

Dan

Otto Puzzell · February 01, 2007, 04:36:04 AM

Non.

Allan L · February 03, 2007, 02:53:55 AM

Frazer Nash Continental with Pininfarina body?
I know such a car was made, but have never seen one or even a photo, so it's just a guess

Otto Puzzell · February 03, 2007, 03:06:33 AM

Not a Frazer Nash

GRAYWOLF · February 06, 2007, 09:35:30 AM

Jaguar?

Otto Puzzell · February 06, 2007, 09:57:59 AM

Yes!

GRAYWOLF · February 06, 2007, 10:12:40 AM

I am learning, I need to go with my first impression. With the exception of the Gremlin ripoff ricer, I have been right with my first thought, even if I didn't state it!

This car screamed Jag as soon as I looked at it. Kind of like that Ford screamed Granada with a funky nose.

Otto Puzzell · February 06, 2007, 11:08:06 AM

Still looking for a model ID and any other information you have on the car.

porridgehead · February 06, 2007, 11:30:29 AM

That took a while. I kept searching for Carrosserie Touring Jaguar and coming up empty. 'Cause that's what it ain't.

XK120 Martial Oblin Coupe as shown at the 2000 Retromobile.

Exactly who or what Martial Oblin is, I have no idea.

Otto Puzzell · February 06, 2007, 01:40:39 PM

You are correct sir!

It's in the rear end...I can see it now...

We need a smiley emoticon that's slapping the side of his head...
