The one in this video?

So far, all I can garner from it is it has pop-up headlights (with two lights per bank), is a 2+2 seater, has a prominent bonnet hump, and is LHD. Video would be 1980 / 1981. The B-pillar looks curved / scalloped early on in the vid.

Originally I thought it was a Lamborghini Jarama, but the bonnet hump in the vid is too big.

Maserati Khamsin, maybe???

Stumped on this, I am.

Searching on the name of the video and Corvette suggests it's a 1979 Vette.

The gap between the lamps on the car in the vid suggests its not a C3.

ETA: than again, you may be right........

Something I found on Google said:
But about half the video for this track was filmed in and around a white ’79 Corvette, with red interior. This was Numan’s own personal white ’79 Corvette–a gift from his UK record label, Beggar’s Banquet, when Cars went gold.

It helps to know how to Google.
