That's quite right. But I'm going to need you to be quite a bit more specific than that!

Not a 407. And as this is AutoPuzzles.com there will be no points for identifying the plane... ;) which is a Bristol.

My first thought was- maybe the lanica- ness comes from a Pininfarina design, but no: It is a bespoke type 406 with coachwork by Beutler.

Beutler, I think so too!  The base is Bristol 406E, from 1957.  Half a point?

I thought Bristol too because of the wheels, but I never knew there was a Bristol Beutler...one point each?

The solver gets the point so it's FrontMan's; nothing for only half-solving it I'm afraid.

I did think about blotting those wheels out but it would have spoiled the picture, so it ended up being far easier than I thought it would be.

Here are some pics of this lovely car:
