A beautiful picture of a beautiful car.

For one point, please respond and identify this car, its coachbuilder and the year it was built.

And here's the same location now, courtesy of Google Street View.

The petrol station has gone, and the Ghia coachworks is now a ski and snowboard shop, but apart from that the scene hasn't changed much in over 50 years.

Isn't this car correctly the Frua Jaguar XK150 Ghia-Aigle, as although it was built by Ghia-Aigle it was actually designed by Pietro Frua?

I believe that is actually true.

And here's a rear view of this very attractive car (maybe the photo was taken on the same day!):

Attractive it is as long as it doesn't wear Mercedes /8 headlamps like in its later years.

Has someone returned it to original?:
