Looks a lot like the rear of a big Austin Healey. And a nose from Pininfarina.

Frazer Nash Continental with Pininfarina body?
I know such a car was made, but have never seen one or even a photo, so it's just a guess ;D

I am learning, I need to go with my first impression. With the exception of the Gremlin ripoff ricer, I have been right with my first thought, even if I didn't state it!

This car screamed Jag as soon as I looked at it. Kind of like that Ford screamed Granada with a funky nose.

Still looking for a model ID and any other information you have on the car.

That took a while. I kept searching for Carrosserie Touring Jaguar and coming up empty. 'Cause that's what it ain't.

XK120 Martial Oblin Coupe as shown at the 2000 Retromobile.

Exactly who or what Martial Oblin is, I have no idea.

It's in the rear end...I can see it now...

We need a smiley emoticon that's slapping the side of his head...

What's this, by whom, from when - for 1 point (and I know it's appeared before but a lifetime ago..)

Remember - solving puzzles using 'Google Search by Image' is BANNED on AutoPuzzles!

That's right.
I really did think this one was a bit harder than that, which is why I re-posted it.
I'll merge it now.
