Was it built by Bill Carter?
If not him, perhaps the builders were - um - inspired by his eponymous beverage.
To the hyperactive Pros.
Somehow it looks like a fake record car. It hasn't appropriate wheels and the jets seem to be non-functional. Am I wrong?
All I have is a name, a year, a place and the builders... the place where I found this features hot-rods, customs and cars like that.
There is a big logo on this car, that is the same than another very known brand...and this car share its name to that logo.
1 point for the logo-name and another for the builders' names.
The logo\name is known in all the world, and it was recently revived by its owner...
was this car built with the aim of breaking speed record?
This is not reported, but this car is also called Jet-Car...
Connaught?
This car is named after its logo (can't tell what is it, because it's like saying 'prancing horse'...)
I have the name of the builders, then.
Post Christmas clue:
This logo the car is named after is not 'Prancing horse' but not very far from that...

Think of a logo, very famous, one word, like Cobra, that can be used to describe this ..thing.
(that logo has not the same name than the company it represents)
After a long sleeping period you can see this logo again....
Fenix?
Not Fenix... more aggressive...
Eagle? It has some kind of beak :)

Good guess, but no...the actual manufacturer that uses this logo is back again, and actually some of its models were called after its logo....
I understood you about the Griffin ::)
Not Griffin.
This car is British.
It is named after 'something'....
This something is also a big logo on this very car (that I cut away).
This logo is like "Cobra", a single name expressing 'dangerous' power.
This logo is also the logo of a very well known manufacturer.
This very well known manufacturer is not named after this logo.
This very well known manufacturer is not British.
This very well known manufaturer is now back in action.
This very well know manufacturer had some models named after its logo.
Everything fit so good for Saab's Griffin..ehhh..
Then it must be Abarth's Scorpion?
Scorpion is correct!
Now the hardest part, who built it?
Andrew Hurdle was the driver / Santa Pod (raceway) Scorpion exhibition car. Was it built by the raceway owner, Bob Phelps?
