What did I see?

[jenpot]

Need help identifying a new breed of car!

Spotted a lovely sportscar in Bothwell this evening and we cannot work out what it was!

New, 2 seater, right hand drive I think. It was a dark grey. Not a supercar. but still something I didn't recognise. No spoiler, rounded back end, decent sized car as well. Also, it was quiet.

I know what it's not...

TVR
Ferrari
Noble (bodywork was very clean and smooth)
Maserati
Lexus
Lotus
Tesla amongst others

Maybe Douglas Park has a new toy, or one of the local footballers! Anyway, suggest cars for me to google@

Ariel Atom in the bentley garage...though does not sound like it would be that...

[jenpot]

Definatly not an Atom. Proper roadcar, if you know what I mean. I just have literally no idea what it is, certainly nothing I've seen before!

Ginetta?

[OlberJ]

What shape was it, saloon, coupe, hatchback?

Was it modern looking?

How many exhausts on the rear? (I know this sounds stupid but it will help)

[jenpot]

Not a Ginetta. Body was taller and not at long compared to it's height.

Coupe, think it had 2 exhausts, but I've looked at so many photos this evening I'm starting to doubt myself. Seem to remember some sort of 'v' perhaps inverted around the rear lights. The thing I really noticed was how quiet it was. It had a manufacturers name on the back, but I couldn't read it in the gloom so i don't think it was a kit car either.

[AMD87]

almost sounds like an invicta s1 but thats rather low and long too.

[jenpot]

Back end was bigger and more rounded.

I'm starting to think I made the damn thing up!

Closest I can find is the California, but definatly not that.

I saw a "59" plate porsche speedster type car on Great Western Road a few weeks ago, and it was grey - might have been that?

Wasnt one of the PGO ones that I saw but similar. Would fit your criteria.

[jenpot]

I think it was the Ascari, thanks forum!
