It has Cobra (or more accurately AC of England) styling to a degree, but it's something else. A Cobra has a conventional hood but the photo of the engine shows more like a flip front end, plus the headlamps are wrong too.

Looks like a replica with some sort of GM LS engine in it.

Really love the pictures!

Great shots! I believe its a Jaguar of some sort....

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this so take it off if I'm not but I think I found it.

It's a replica of a Lister. A late '50s era British sports racer that came with either Jag or Chevy power.

Cheers,

Too Tall is correct, it's a Lister replica. Nice car, I've got shots of it somewhere. Did you shoot these at Cars and Coffee in Fairlakes on Sunday morning?

Radial engines don't actually leak oil, by the way. They just mark their territory!
