Not a one-off, but close.
Left-hand drive, if that helps.

I recognized the car but couldn't place it initially. It is a 1953 Fiat 8V (Otto Vu) Supersonic by Ghia. Truly beautiful car. Nice find.

Slightly (well a lot) out of my pocket's reach!

I've never seen this one either, and maybe too obscure so here's the link:

Unipower GT

https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotiv ... 1134a7530b

Engineered by Ernie Unger and Val Dare-Bryan. Body designed by GT40 designer Ron Brashaw (in secret). Mid-engine with a BMC A-series (we all have to make compromises). Space frame chassis. A mini-GT.

Didn't we have a Fiat 8V a few pages back?

Ah ha, much bigger than the Fiat!
Stylish!

Takes a while in the complicated story to get to the actual Jaguar.
