Driving back from the shooting club this morning, I saw a small sports car. I was in traffic so couldn't get a photo.
Anybody know what it might be based on my shitty sketch? The rear lights were all equal diameters. This is a view on the rear.
Transam? Pontiac?
No, it was really petite.
Perhaps 1500 mm tall.
Is that the front or back?
Lancia Stratos?
I thought Stratos but I think that’s the back.
MCTD - I'd know a Stratos!
It's the back hence the exhaust!
It's a Ferrari of some sort. What did magnum have?
No, not a 308 GTS.
It looked a bit crappy TBH so one of the lesser marques.
Ferrari or Lamborghini?
What colour was it? And what colour was the badge?
Or a Gtm coupe?
Lotus Europa?
Transam? Pontiac?
He said small!
Looks a lot like Ferrari Dino, but not sure that would count as particularly small either. My total punt in the dark is Toyota 2000GT
No to all the above I'm afraid.
The car was black and the badge was chrome lettering, quite jagged / spiky, not a plate.
Old Toyota MR2?
Was it a private plate or old H reg so 1970ish. Or new H reg 1990?
First thought was an old Dino 246 baby Ferrari, but think they’ve got the quadruple exhaust.
Deffo H from the 1970s
Same diametre round lights sounds like shitty English companies that raided the ford parts bin. And or kit car.
Ginetta
Tvr
Marcos
Lotus
And if it looked crappy... Def Marcos.
Fiat Dino Spider
De Tomaso Pantera.
Good call on the Fiat.
Cam tail and spiky writing shouts Dino 246 to me.
Another vote for Opel GT. They're tiny in the flesh.
Fiat Sport 850?
Lotus Esprit - I'm sure a few had round lights.
Came to say Lotus europa but just checked and it isn't but wow what a great looking car!
Datsun 160Y?
Datsun Skyline?
Mk1 Opal Manta?
As much as I think it’s a Ferrari Dino too I’d be amazed if one was out on the roads at this time of year!
Toyota 2000gt
Are those little dashes in the OP's drawing a louvres engine?- so something rear/mid engine?
Datsun 240Z
Matra (Talbot / Simca) M530
but wow what a great looking car!
Looks like Rodney and del boys reliant.
My money is on the ops car being a Ferrari dino
A Skoda 110R driving backwards?
Hard to tell from a sketch like that, Ferrari dino is a possibility?
Opel gt.
slight change of direction, there is an opel gt sitting by the side of the road in the industrial area of whitehorse, yukon territory slowly rotting away. i was stunned when i saw it.
my first thought from looking at the picture was 206 dino, but the fiat 850 is a good call. the grills in the sketch do suggest that the engine is behind the driver.
The tail pipes are wrong for a Dino though...
Another vote for a dino, they are tiny, the wee mans fezza...
