Duh! Of course it's not the Kahn, the drivers' seat is on the wrong side for that. Is it European?

Strange, as the driver seat is on the wrong side...

Anyway, was it home-made or built by a company ?

Lister ?
That's what the seller claims it to be, a roadster based on a Jaguar E-Type V12, built by Lister for an American client, but never finished. I don't have any other evidence, so I can't tell how trustworthy this information is.

It must be bigger than it looks if a Jag V12 is to fit beneath that bonnet. I agree with el_monty, it's very attractive.  8)

Are those German licence plates on the Audi and Skoda? Lister are in Cambridge. The rear of the car looks a bit like the single-seat Lister "Monzanapolis" - I wonder if that was the intention of the American buyer?

Yes, the car was for sale in Germany recently.
