What did I see?

[jimmy156]

As many petrolheads will know, when you see a car you cant identify it can be infuriating, so i am hoping PH can help. I warn you, there is not a lot to go on!

I only saw the rear of the carf. The car was low and wide and had sort of triangular shaped rear light clusters. It had the look of a 90's low volume super car about it. I would say it was V8 powered from the noise, but I could be wrong!

The car was driving through petersfield today and it was dark blue (in case local knowledge of a particular car helps!)

The closest I can find is a jaguar XJR-15. Imagine this, but with triangular shaped light clusters... and no wing

My brain went to a marcos, or a bristol fighter or something. But its not those. It looked wider and lower anyway.

Ultima maybe?

[jimmy156]

Not an Ultima, it wasn't track focussed. No big wings.

Nissan R390? Although maybe not with triangle lights....

[finlo]

Ford GT90?

[Paul578]

Assume it wasn't a Ford GT90 clone...

[bobbo89]

Venturi?



Although probs not, triangular rear lights...???

Good shout but no, it was less race car looking

No the triangles were the other way up, and had a curved edge to them...

Nope, wasn't that!

I thought the same but there is only one roadgoing R390 and it's in a museum.

Stealth B6? Dauer 962? Lister Storm?

[99t]

Nissan 370z rear lights sound a bit like that, but otherwise they don't have the look you describe. Unless heavily modded perhaps?

[M.F.D]

Something along the lines of Cizeta V16T or a Lister Storm? Neither have triangle rear clusters though....

[Silvanus]

Sounds like a Noble M10, M12 or M400

[carl_w]

Jaguar XJ220, Invicta S1, Callaway C12?

No, it was less race car than all of these

Wasn't a noble either!

We have a winner, I knew PH would prevail. Thank you!

Here is the exact car I saw (I recognise the plate)

According to the article, one of only 7 made. 5 owned by the same owner, 1 in germany and this one. Not surprised i didn't recognise it!



And from the rear, with the "triangular" light cluster, which may have been a bit misleading on my part!

The pic I saw was this one, which has VW Passat lights turned through 90 degrees to make an "I" shape in the middle of them
