...but not a Ginetta, though I believe that is what inspired it and it's a sort of copy of one.  Well spotted!

Reluctantly I'm moving this one up to the Pro's.
I say reluctantly because really it shouldn't be a Pro puzzle but the Experts haven't finished it off so it's easy pickings for a lucky Professional!

Yes, but of course you know that since it's on your own website (although that isn't where I took this picture from).
But you haven't answered all the questions so no point yet.  Open to anyone.

Indeed it is.

Thank you, gentlemen!

Easom Macho was presented in 1988 in Newark show. It was supposed to be a  Jaguar XJ6-based Ginetta G11 replica, lookalike - you name it. I don't have builder's name now (even if it is mentioned anywhere) and I cannot answer the last question. I think, it was built by some company Easom Engineering, but I need to double check...

You don't need to check because you're right!  It was built by Easom Engineering of Nottingham.
