What, this? Really?

[lotus72]

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

[nicanary]

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.

Hmm close, but the Hensen is a much cruder design. This one does have a Fisore look about it

[Johnboy Mac]

A one off British design is my guess.

Very similar but the back end is different.

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.

And most of the rest.

love the fact that on pistonheads someone can identify the tyre tread!

Could be wrong though. Probably is knowing me.

[Johnboy Mac]

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.

[VetteG]

Can you not do a DVLA check on the registration?

G

[JeffreyB]

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?

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.

Tried but you need to list a make - unless someone knows otherwise?

I'm with the "from the pen of Trevor Fiore" brigade.
