Handsome it is, Italian it is not

Then I can assume German or French origin.

The assumption is wide of the mark however!

Do you mean I have to choose one of them? Just didn't understand the phrase, sorry

Sorry, I should be clearer in my mother tongue - it's neither French nor German

Afraid not...

ImpishGrin · January 22, 2009, 03:44:06 PM

Not Italian, Geman or French (not to mention Czechoslovakian). Maybe breeteesh?

faksta · January 22, 2009, 04:05:44 PM

I believe I've seen it before, on another photo... $:-\$ but I can't remember when and where. Is it European at all? Or we'll waste much time trying every European country and will finally find out it's not from there...

OK - it's not built in Europe

Pro territory

faksta · February 01, 2009, 11:59:40 AM

Does it have a Simca engine by any chance?

No chance I'm afraid

This is the (very nice indeed) Fitch Whitmore Le Mans Special a Jaguar-based from the father of the Fitch-Bitch and the Phoenix.

Quiller · February 05, 2009, 06:32:05 PM

Signor Jaray, sei incredibile! This magnificent machine is based on XK120 mechanicals

faksta · February 05, 2009, 06:52:37 PM

In this case it has just reminded me of something, because I can't say I've heard of this name before...
