At the Le Mans Classic on the 10.50 parade lap was a car that I then saw later parked up at Houx and even read the badge but have since forgotten.

It was in Aston Cumberland Grey and had a double bubble roof a little bit like the DB7 Zagato. It also looked a little bit like the Bristol Fighter.

So, any thoughts as to what it was?

Thanks.

No thoughts?

The name was 7/8 letters long and my memory says it started with an R.

Name doesn't fit, but could it be the new AC 378 GT Zagato?:



There was a big AC display, what with the Cobra's 50th, although I don't remember it being there. It was revealed at Geneva last year as a running prototype so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few out there.

It didn't look as modern as that. Similar though. The badge just wasn't one I'd seen before.

It definitely could have been something from Zagato but maybe from around 10 years ago.

It was much more rounded. Much more like a cross between a DB7 Zagato and a Bristol Fighter.
