Thanks Colin. I’ll bow down to your knowledge. Of course as explained earlier there is a designer connection between ISO and Bizzarrini.
I’m pretty certain it is the sleek 5300GT Corsa we see racing at Goodwood.
I haven’t investigated deeper but some of these cars had a V12 Lamborghini engine.
Such was the development at the time and the small number of cars built it makes for interesting reading.
I only made the posting initially as I was amazed they had to remove part of the dash to adjust the distributor.

I wonder if that is why the Sunbeam Tiger got a Ford V8 rather than a Chevy.

Interesting is, that the Bizzarrini has the same washer jets like the 289 Cobras

The complete wiper mecanism is LUCAS, like many Italian supercars of the era.

I bow to your greater knowledge gentlemen.
I saw the rear window and the emblem and that's all I know. Seen the car I posted a few times locally, and been wondering what it was.

On washer jets: 289 cobras had different (rather nicer looking) washer jets compared to 427 Trico items. The Trico items were only fitted to 427 Roadsters - 427 F/Rs and S/Cs didn't have any such facility. The correct 427 Trico washer bottles are also as rare as hen's teeth.
