That Jap company that makes the Rolls Royce knock off that James May drove the Sumo wrestler in?

the front and the rear looks as if they come from two differant era's...major design flaw

@ peri...yup that was a mitsuoka car.

Although the front and back look totally familiar, they don't look right together, as MD said.

Might be a cut-butt job

sean machang i dont think its a cut butt job ... the women who bought it has a very good car collection ... has a good taste for quality stuff .... and has very deep pockets .... so i dont think she will never ever go and buy such a thing and import it to the country if it has no value ...

and i dont think guys this monster has an asian orgin ...

Yep deffa doesn't look Asian. Check out the logo and see then, I'm highly curious as to what it is. If you get a chance to pop the bonnet, then I'm sure you can definitely find out what it is.

Its a coachbuilt/pimped (70's era pimpin', that is) - Lincoln Continental Mark V coupe. The seats and dash gave it away.

Here's what a stock Mark V looks like:

its not pimped gunat ... this is standard ... no cosmetic changes done .. i know she will never go and buy something pimped cos it will hurt her family status .... and a person who has couple of RR's is not our typical person who will run after pimping ....

sean machang deffa .... im planing to go .. just need to go on the weekend ... sure will take some snaps of the motor and the interior as wel.

KM- I didn't mean pimped in a negative sense, but this is definitely a post-production change done to a LC M V- its classic 70's American detroit metal. When you get the chance, take a side profile shot...and if its possible, a few images of the dash and engine- the ford/lincoln lineage will be surely visible.

It isn't a lincoln Mark, Its actually a Stutz Blackhawk. Coachbuilt with handmade panels and such off of a Pontiac Grand Prix. Built from 1971-1987 for customers with tons of money and err... "eccentric" Tastes..

Good catch SN! I stand corrected...can't help but think that the already pouty Grand Prix was beaten by an Ugly Stick though!

Apparently Elvis Presley was the first customer....
