This is the first time I've seen a Vredestein tire on a car.

Initially thought it might be a Lister Jaguar...but it doesn't look like it on second thought...looks a bit like a Cooper T49 as well, but the headlights are wrong...it's obviously front-engined, Appears to be LHD with a fairing behind the driver's head, it either has a power buldge or an intake scoop on the bonnet and appears to have pontoon fenders out front with a reasonably narrow central air intake which is tapered towards the outer edges...

I thought of that too...but the problem with it being a Cunningham is that they had very distinctive shapes as far as I know...very AC Cobra-esque but with a bit more of a bluff front end...the central section of this car's front end is fairly low by comparison...

judging from the LHD it's probably a british car... but somehow the notion of a ferrari doesn't let me go
