Bizzarini?

[woodinsight]

Much less exotic and quite obscure

[woodinsight]

Do the pros know?

[woodinsight]

Time for a clue - this car shares it name (almost) with another sports racing coupe that looks similar

[woodinsight]

The name starts with E

[Allemano]

Is it Italian?

[Aaron65]

Is that name Elva?

[woodinsight]

No to both - it's not Italian and it's not Elva
It almost shares it's name with another British GT that has been solved some time ago on AutoPuzzles.
Begins with E and is six letters long......

[Djetset]

Esprit.

[woodinsight]

Sorry but not that

[Djetset]

Europa

[woodinsight]

Not Europa

I should explain that it almost shares the same name of the marque, not model, of another British GT coupe

[Paul Jaray]

Like Excell?

[woodinsight]

Like Excell or like Elva, etc. but not these.
Another clue - the name is 6 letters long - starts with E and ends with N

[Paul Jaray]

Eyston?

[woodinsight]

The first and the last two letters are correct - i.e. ExxxON
It is I guess quite obscure and only one was built

[Djetset]

Edison?
