You are entirely correct, Trommel.

This car already appeared in two other puzzles.  But they included tiny, black and white images.  I thought it would be nice to see some recent pictures of the car, from a used car lot in the south western U.S.

Sometime during the life of this car, it was changed from a manual transmission to an automatic.

From all the pictures I've seen before, I never knew it was SO much like Espada :o

Wasn't it silver when it featured in the Telegraph magazine?  Or am I thinking of another car?  45 years ago is a  l_o_n_g  time for my aging memory.

You are correct, D-Type.  It was previously painted silver.

1967 Jaguar Bertone Pirana.

It was originally a manual transmission car, but it was repainted and changed to an automatic by a laterowner (and retrimmed)

Wayne, yes, you're correct.  However, I just realized that even the interior image is a repost. 
(Albeit a better one than in another puzzle.)

I knew the Pirana had been puzzled, but I never noticed the interior image.
Silly me.
