Googled it, the back on the Sedanca is sloped, not as square as this.

The closest I got after 20 mins of researching was an "FEI X3 Lavinia" It looks remotely similar, shape wise.

Reg plate searches are showing nothing at all.

Could the word have been Frua?

The rear corner looks Jensen Healey-ish to me.

The S-plate says 1978. The body is very Trevor Fiore, who designed for Fissore.

Nontheless. I reckon it's a one-off special - that glass-area looks very like a Fiat 130 Coupe.

You beat me to it. Was just googling frua images, the Dodge Challenger Frua Coupe has a similar front end treatment.

Something about it suggests Italian to me - could that say "Turin"?
