I would say it's a kit car - a Royale ? - sometime Jaguar based.

Apologies to the owner if it's the real thing.

Drat and double drat - I was hoping it would something exciting like a rare model of Riley, AC, or Armstrong Siddeley.

Might even be this one ...



They're quite a handsome thing and the proportions aren't bad either. Good effort IMHO.

Yes, doesn't look bad compared to a lot of kits.

Not sure why, though, you'd want a kit based on an MX5.... http://www.automotivecreation.com/#!healy-enigma/c......and an interesting sneaking round use of registered names by missing an e out!

The door handle and side repeater are a bit of a give away (shouldn't be that hard to sort out though), otherwise I like that!
