Just been watching Bangers and Cash and one of these is up for auction. Must admit I've never heard of it, but what an amazing car.

It's French chic with a big  lump  of Detroit V8 shoved up front.

Brian Rix owned one.

Apparently the dashboard is made of metal and  painted with a feather so none are exactly alike.
