It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Handsome it is, Italian it is not

Then I can assume German or French origin.

The assumption is wide of the mark however!

Do you mean I have to choose one of them? Just didn't understand the phrase, sorry  :D

Sorry, I should be clearer in my mother tongue - it's neither French nor German  ;)

Not Italian, Geman or French (not to mention Czechoslovakian). Maybe breeteesh?

I believe I've seen it before, on another photo...  :-\ but I can't remember when and where. Is it European at all? Or we'll waste much time trying every European country and will finally find out it's not from there...

OK - it's not built in Europe

It almost looks like an Allard.

Does it have a Simca engine by any chance?

This is the (very nice indeed) Fitch Whitmore Le Mans Special a Jaguar-based from the father of the Fitch-Bitch and the Phoenix.

Signor Jaray, sei incredibile! This magnificent machine is based on XK120 mechanicals

In this case it has just reminded me of something, because I can't say I've heard of this name before...
