Need help Indentifying Custom Jaguar XJ6

Custom fiberglass body on a jaguar xj6 frame and running gear. Supposed to be from some beach party movie in the 60's. Never had any luck locating the movie. Any ideas?

XJ6 first launched Sept 68 so either (1) film is 69 onwards or (2) if a mid 60s film any Jag is earlier model. Apart from possibly the wheels (which might be 60+ Jag Mk2, 66+ 420 or 62+ E-Type, or might not) nothing obvious which looks Jag-like. Steering wheel looks old but not very Jag. Body is a bit like very early 60s Marcos on steroids - eg http://www.marcosjem.co.uk/history.html - but that's only a passing comment and not an identification. Any other photos?

I have more picture but I can't figure out how to add them. I can only add one? Maybe because I am new to the site.
It does have a Jag dohc six cylinder engine with 3 SU carbs.
Thanks for the reply,

Any clue to engine size? XJ6 would only be 4.2 (or 2.8 but I don't think that was sold in US) - other 4.2 were 64+ E-type (or XK-E in US), 64+ MkX, 420 and 420G - e-type the ony one with 3 carbs as standard, but easily upgraded from lesser versions. 3.8 has many possibilities - 3 carbs were 61-64 E-type, Mk2 3.8, XK150 SE and there was also the S-type (which I forgot above) with fewer carbs. 3.4 gives Mk2, S-type, ordinary XK150 and various earlier XK, 2.4 only gives Mk2 in 60s. 1960-67 Mk2 3.8 would be my best guess at the moment for numbers produced.
