I wonder if anyone can help me figure out what the hell I saw yesterday?
It was a 2 seater BMW, a similar size to a Z4 but looked like it was designed in the 70s or 80s (think original MR2 or Esprit). The nose was very Esprit like in fact, very straight and low at the bottom. Having said that, I think it would be front engined but I'm not sure on that.
The roof was down so I presume it was a convertible, and oddly it didn't appear to have doors. Instead, where the top line of the door would be, there was a section cut out so you could see the occupants arms.
It had a personalised plate which I think had 214 or something on it, but I've Googled that and come up empty.
Any ideas?

Does look very cool.

Exactly like that.Thanks all. I've not seen one on the road before and it's quite an unusual looking machine. I presume it was designed more for the American market.
It was the weird door setup that made me think it might not be a production car.
Clearly the personalised number plate was wasted on me

You should be a detective!

You should be a detective! The Lotus 340R has no roof, but not really convertible, as there is no roof at all.. I think the Renault Sport Spider falls into the same bracket (But I stand to be corrected by the greater PH knowledge)
