Nope.. It's a British classic. In body, at least ;)

Cresta or Wyvern perhaps... but that interior is definitely Australian...

That's the one I was trying to think of! Thanks.

Al has it.. PA Cresta with Monaro running gear (suspension, brakes, engine, transmission and interior) - it was exceedingly well done.

Oooh, interesting, a PA Cresta with a Monaro interior...

I know there was a metallic Blue 2 door (one-off conversion) Cresta PA with Jag XJR running gear at Billing a couple of years back. I could well believe this is the same vehicle with some changes made since I last saw it, or alternatively a different project car done by the same guy.

Very Impressive. :y :y :y

A Cadillac CTS Vsport donor into a LHD Omega Estate sleeper would work for me very nicely. :y :y :y

Just the work involved in adapting the roofline to fit seamlessly into the 2-door conversion is staggering. (and if the blue one was anything to go by the conversion was done flawlessly) When you 'zoom out' and look at the whole car, the time, effort, skill involved is immense. Take my hat off to him  :y
