Is this car a one-off "special"?

Not Argentinian.
Thanks for the front page coverage.
Curious though that the front registration plate is a different colour?!
It just looked messy, with the rattle-can bandit's work showing. ;)

Right!
It was bit dark working down there and I couldn't really see what I was doing!
Any connection to Siata?
Based on a British chassis?
The car looks quite large - based on a Jaguar?

And Yes again!
was it built in Europe?
was it built in UK?
Found this one as a Jaguar Special named MEX 52.
It is based on Jaguar XJ 12 running gear, has a body by CC Coachworks and was built in 1978.

You didn't include the picture of the engine. That would tell most people it was an XJ12.

All right then, here are some more pictures (I didn't want to give the impression I actually like this car...!):
Well, I decided that it has a Rover P5 radiator grille and spent a [very enjoyable] couple of hours googling all the permutations of Rover **** I could think of. I found out a lot about the P5 but didn't find this car for obvious reasons.
