The neoclassic maker that shares its name with the puzzle car's maker was not inspired by a Bugatti or a Mercedes....

Bugace

I'm temted too answer Illinga, because the front is very simular.  Sadly not the rear, and I can't think of a neoclassic either.

There is a maker in Australia called Daytona, could it be that?

This is proving a difficult nut to crack.
I know it's a bit of a long shot but could the answer simply be Auburn.
There was an Australian manufacturer called Auburn Motorcar Co. of Melbourne around 1979.
I assumed they were building Auburn replicas but I have no more information on the company or the cars they were involved with.
Auburn of course means "reddish-brown" when referring to hair colour.

Paul Jaray

Not Ilinga and not Auburn.
The other company, the one producing the neo-classic car, is American and the inspirating car is indeed american, but not an Auburn.

Allemano

Maybe Cord? Could it be "Warrior" then?

Paul Jaray

The puzzle car is not a Warrior and the neoclassic maker with the same name is not Cord-inspired.

Are we talking about a Gibbon? It was a Packard-replica

Not a Gibbon, but Packard was the muse....

Allemano

It couldn't be Bayliff?

Paul Jaray

Not that...but it won't take much...

Not BACI...
the neoclassic car has got a Packard radiator and the ad shows even a Packard mascotte on it, but it's not on exact replica of any model...

Quiller

It's called the Paragon SP1  :)

Paul Jaray

Well done, Quiller!
Few days you're back and the hardest ones are cracked!
