Name The Car

[jinx]

Not a Jaguar and not a Jensen.  

This name is older than both of those but the last car to carry it before this one was made in 1948.

Additional clue? -

I\'m sorry chaps - I really thought you\'d get this quickly. It\'s still in production (I think).  After going into liquidation in the mid thirties, the name was revived in 1946 but died again two years and 17 cars later, reappearing in the early 2000\'s attached to this front engined coupe with a V8 engine and claimed top speed potential of +200mph.

I\'m beginning to feel like that small boy in the Norwich Union advert...\'I\'m not helping much am I\'   :o

I think ad4m1 has it.

[jinx]

Invicta S1 is right.  There is a website at invictacars.co.uk if anyone has 160k to splash out on the \'poverty spec\' version - if they are still taking orders. :Hammer

should be easy enough

[jinx]

I\'m so glad that nobody else knows and I\'m not the only one whose definition of \'easy\' is more personal than general.  :Laugh

It looks oddly familiar and there can\'t be that many double bubble back window treatments out there. Obviously modern, for no really good reason other than to break the silence, I\'ll hazard a guess it is something I can\'t name from TVR.
 
Assuming that\'s wrong Ad4m - any chance of a clue?

Looks small - like a 2 seater with double bubbles - is it some new Lotus ?

[Will66]

I want to say Zagato something, just because of the double-bubble roof.
