what car is this then?

[Rowan138]

that plate on the side says "FURIR" on it.

Isn't this a Jensen concept?

There is something very Jensen about the proportions and the stainless strip between the wheels looks like an interceptor.

The whole thing seems a bit gash. There's no way those wipers could clear the screen. Could it be something thrown together for a TV show? The sort of thing set only a few years in the future?

A Monteverdi of some description?

That would be my guess.

The shape of the rear quarter glass looks familiar but I cannot place it. I would guess that all of the glass and the heavy chrome mouldings around the side glasses are lifted from another vehicle as these are expensive and complex to make. The screen looks like a compromise as if it doesn't really fit the lines of the body.

Still doesn't help to identify the vehicle though!

XJS windscreen?

[gforceg]

I was starting to think the windscreen is actually the rear window from something.

Would a RHD drive car have the aerial where it is?

The outer headlights seems to have yellow bulbs.

Not sure if this helps but I've been left alone to amuse myself so I'm being picky.

[Urban Sports]

Looks like it was intended for the American market with the round headlights and the recess for the door handles.

Rear windows look like those off a Triumph Stag, just been checking my 'Classic & Sportscar Cars of the 1970s' and can't see anything else similar.

It certainly has a look of a Trevor Fiore effort, wondered if it was maybe a last go for Trident or somebody similar (if it is a UK car of course).

The side plaque definitely says FURIA or FURIR

[joe58]

Could the plaque not say Frua? An old coach builder with similar looking stuff over a range of manufactures.

[Dracoro]

Click on the image and then again (it will zoom in) and it's quite clear (apart from the last letter which is either an A or a R)

[HowMuchLonger]

Does it have an MOT?

[gforceg]

It's a bitsa! The bonnet grille looks like half a plate drainer and it appears to have pop-up headlight panels 9" back from the bonnet leading edge.

Could the headlight surrounds be from a Lancia Beta? Like this one driven by Borat.

[LotusOmega375D]

Looks similarish to an ISO, like a Fidia or Lele

Edit: just googled these and I'm wrong on both counts.

Thank you, that's exactly what I was trying to think of. Still stumped though.

If the side badge says 'Furia' then Google suggests there was a car called the FNM Furia, a Brazilian built car based on Alfa underpinnings. Can't get photos uploaded but it does show an older model, this could be an evolution of it as there are certain similar styling cues.

Yes, there are similarities.
