I saw a car on Holiday this week, it's a 2 seater, new sports car with a manual gearbox, I thought by taking a photo of the badge, it would tell me what make it was, but no such luck.
Can anyone help with this one as it's bugging me?
Thanks

I am intrigued, although that badge just looks like someone's child has made it for them at school so it is probablyl not official manufacturers. COuld be wrong though

Looks a bit hand made really wink. Italian? The latin bit is probably paraphrasing Virgil, "primus et ire viam", first to lead the way.

Only one other pic, the badge is a close up, it's about 2" round, the bonnet has two slots in the top with chrome surrounds and the car has square exhaust outlets.

Looks like a Saturn Sky to me.

That isn't anything exotic, it started as a Vauxhall Lightning and ended up in production as a Saturn in america.

I think it's one of these. Or a variation.

Thanks guys, that must be it. Maybe they re-badged it for Spain or the owner changed it just to annoy me!

Looks to me like they removed the Opel flash and stuck their own badge within the circle.

I don't believe for 1 single second that any manufacturer, no matter how small, would make a logo like that. From a design perspective it's very untidy and does not sit right.

Maybe it's their Family Crest?

Where were you on holiday? Looks like a town crest, so perhaps the Mayor's car?

Majorca. Port de Pollenca. The car did not move all holiday, so I guess it was a car to go with one of the homes there and just used on holidays.
