What did I see?

A small red sports car passed me this morning, just outside Colchester and I would guess headed for the Ipswich->Felixstowe car run. I *thought* the reg was DOU347T but must have got it wrong, as MOT checker has not helped me ID the car.

Looked like a Triumph Spitfire/GT6, with a low slung centre exhaust setup, but the rear window was very wrapped around. Thought it might be a Marcos but the 1600 GT has a square/two line reg plate, this car had a standard rectangular plate.

it was that sort of rear screen but i don’t think it had the Cortina style rear lights, or square reg plate, that Google image search is showing me..

I was cycling as it came past me and was focussed mainly on trying to remember the VRM so may easily have misremembered the details…

It's a TVR Taimar. Specifically, this TVR Taimar.

Thankyou for satisfying my curiousity! It sounded good as it went past me. Your car?
