hardly. Unless it's an early mock-up or something

I had a look at Trevor Fiore's image files - he did the Monteverdi 375 and the Trident/Clipper. This looks a dead ringer in style, but somehow also a bit homemade, as if it's been done as a sort of mock-up for pre-production assessment.
That looks like "FURIA" on the badge, which was a recent-ish Lamborghini spyder. So the name's been used before, but if it belonged to the posters neighbour , then it must have been a runner. If it's a one-off, then we won't find it in any reference book.

Looks a bit like a rebodied Scimitar, the 77/78 reg would be about right for the end of the main production run. Just a guess.

It could be the slightly obscure Henson kit car from the 1970's.

A one off British design is my guess.

I think it is some kind of Jensen (or possibly Aston Martin) test mule. Never seen anything like it before though.
Got to be British.
I'm looking at it on a blackberry screen but the tyre tread pattern look like Michelin XWS - very expensive and only used on pricey motahs.

Does the park position of the wipers give any clue to the car being right or left hand drive on a 70's car? I was thinking it's r/h/d.

Can you not do a DVLA check on the registration?

Hmm - let me see. 1970's, glassfibre, more than a hint of Marcos Mantis around the rear/side profile, possibly a one-off. Could it be the work of Dennis Adams?

G Not without the vehicle make unfortunately (unless someone here works for the DVLA). I hate to say it, but the photo looks a bit Photoshopped to me. Detail, colour and reflections around the side windows don't look quite plausible.

G Tried but you need to list a make - unless someone knows otherwise? I'm with the "from the pen of Trevor Fiore" brigade.
