What's this, by whom - for 1 point?


Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Well it is right hand drive. So probably British, looking at the wheels which are 'cobra replica' styled AC?

Not major no, but well known; not obscure.

Sideline reminds me of a Jensen Healey, so maybe some sort of kitcar based on this car?

Well spotted - Jensen-Healey it is!
I thought it would be the windscreen that was the giveaway..
Locked for you then to see if you can find more to answer the rest of the question.

I have absolutely NO IDEA : the wheels look like AC Cobra ones, the headlights look like they came from a Porsche Spyder and the front bumper reminds me of a '67 Corvette ... a real kitcar this is.

Is this actually a real car? Cause the front wheels look a bit out of line ...

No it wasn't!  It's a concept rendering..
It's easy to fit Halibrand wheels when it's just a drawing...!

You don't say! ;D

He should learn the basic rules of perspective drawing before setting hand on renderings like that... The frontwheels are terribly fitted.
