The description of it isn't the best but someone might know!

I was watching a wedding party leave the church on Saturday, or should I say perving on the bride and bridesmaids (which happened to be Geri Haliwell!). The bride and groom left in a 2 seater classic sports car, my old man did tell me the name of it but I cant remember (and I cant get hold of him for a while), I know the make began with a F and it looked similar to a AC Cobra, he said not many were made.

Anyone got any idea's?

He was saying 'five', as in MX-5.

Fiat BarChetta?, although that wouldnt tie in with the "not many made" not totally sure on production numbers plus it seems like a pretty non interesting car for a wedding.

Fairthorpe doesn't ring a bell but quite similar maybe. I don't want to sound stupid in case I am wrong but the badge on the grill made me initially think it was a Bentley (it was from a distance in my defence)
