Not sure it helps but the modular bricks are from around 1972

...in my defence I'm pretty sure it has Furia written on the side - a prototype/"custom" job perhaps?

G Not without the vehicle make unfortunately (unless someone here works for the DVLA). Cartell.ie will tell you make/model from a numberplate. Unfortunately, this 'plate is not on their database which means it hasn't been taxed for a long, long time. (but in general it's a useful site for working out what's what when you have a full memory card after a car show) https://www.cartell.ie/ssl/servlet/beginStarLookup...

The signature of Frua and similar to a Monteverdi but there again the TVR lineage and the UK Reg could sway me towards TVR  Droop across the bonnet, twin headlamps, slim bumper and check out the just visible rear wheel and the side repeaters which are Fiat in my book.   p.s fantastic find!

There's something vaguely familiar about it but I can't recall where I've seen it before. Reminds me of something Vignale might have penned....

Can't be anything anybody really knows about then - these threads rarely last more than 10 minutes, even the very obscure ones! Trommel usually knows his cars, and nothing from him!

I actually quite like it. Purposeful looking - maybe the camera does it a favour.

I need to know what this is. Sometimes a good place to look is at the windscreen shape, but i can't place that either!

It's got to be a kit or a one off, that much is reasonable to assume.
Looking at the angle of the front wheel suggests it's rear wheel drive, and possibly based on a BMW/Mercedes as they look like that when the wheels are turned, due to having angled Macpherson struts.
The rest of the silhouette is like nothing I can recall though.

I have been really thinking hard, on e-bay about 6 months ago, someone, I think from Scotland was selling a prototype "Supercar" that had been built. The photo was taken from the offside rear, so I cannot be sure, if it was this one, but that was SORN, not abandoned, anyone on here know of or remember that one?
Maybe a photo from the back to see the rear light design??

Looking again, its got a bit of a Lancia HPE about it, that would fit the 1978 registration.

I'm probably wildly out here but... many moons back there was a "one off" based on a Triumph 2500 that used loads of contemporary bits off other models. I remember the builder used a wood frame and bodied it in a poly foam/fibreglass sandwich (a bit like surfboards) and created the final shape using a surform - hence it being very angular. Can't say if this is the car as it was about three decades back but could be a similar(ish) vehicle. In the late seventies and into the eighties this country was a hot bed of small manufacturers and single blokes toiling in garages producing one offs, literally hundreds of cars that never made kit or production status.
Somewhere, I have a magazine write up on the car I'm thinking of, if I can find it I'll post it up.
As for the Scottish supercar, missed the ad' but may have been an Argyle - not the same as this one.

Lots of posts on here suggesting it could be a kit-car and made of glassfibre. It just dosn't look like plastic to me, more like alloy of some sort. And the general curvatures and swage lines look too cpmplex to be something from a "lock-up amateur".

I've just realised something - the front quarter-lights are miniscule and probably don't open. Those front windows must have been cut down from their original size. So either the roof has been lowered, or another car had been cannibalised for its parts.
