Identify this car

Can someone help me identify this car? It's not a Pantera.

Edit: It's not an Espada either according to the shop working on it...

this car definitely is a lambo and it looks a lot like the espada but it is missing a few things. it doesn't have the front fender cutouts. the rear looks a bit different. this car could have been the early prototype version.

Door handles are different, rear tailights, the window above the lights is vented on my picture. Also the Rear quarter panels are more "exagerated" or wider if that makes any sense in my pic. And the Logo in the rear quarter is different. Chrome trim around the tail lights don't wrap all the way around in my picture.

Bertone Pirana. It's a rebodied E-type Jaguar, although I don't know why anyone would want to do that.

What are you getting done at RDB? Mano and his dad are great guys there. They did some work for me years ago back when they were in Reseda. They always have some of the most amazing cars there.

Oh I'm not getting anything done, I just met Vik and Mano a couple of months back through my friend, super chill guys. I've gone to a couple of meets with them. Yeah they seem to do pretty good work.
