Found this tonight on a walk near Lords cricket grounds. Back has a hint of Bugatti EB110, but cant believe one of those would be on the road under a cover







Any ideas?? (No, I cant figure it out...)

As a quick guess, I’d say a Murci Roadster.

That was my thought too but the large oval central exhaust puts it out the frame - think the Murcielago thoughts might be right.

I'd agree on the 220.

The elongated rear end looks like it to me.

The rear overhang of an XJ220 is huge compared with that pert little rump under the cover. biggrin

I think it's a Murcielago too, the oval exhaust might be aftermarket twin round tailpipes



The bumper looks like it sticks out more though, like a Diablo rear. But the Diablo exhaust was under the bumper, not coming through it. Unless there's some specific model of Murcielago that had a sticking out bumper similar to the Diablo.

I wouldn't have got it, but now it's all I can see. Definitely a Murci.
