Another possibility - An old Renault Alpine? Though the OP's sketch does err towards a Dino..

Fiat 850 for sure.

Thank you.

I think they have affixed the Dino badge for a laugh.

Of course - there wasn't only Ferarri making a Dino

Fiat made a Dino too

I thought a Dino from the sketch. My girlfriend's grandad had one when I was at school. Blue it was, flipping gorgeous. I never got a go in it though (unlike the girlfriend 😉 )

Mk1 Opal Manta?<br /><br />

Had one of those, lovely car, I’d have another if I could find a good one, and do a retromod, upgraded running gear, and a modern Vauxhall/Opel motor with a better gearbox. An Opel GT would be nice, too.

Oh I agree it wasn’t going to be a Marcos

But I stand by my point…

Mmmmmm sexy…<br /><br />

But only by managing to find a Marcos that I don’t think anyone has ever seen or heard of! The Probe 15 was essentially a Marcos, built as it was by the boss of Marcos.

I was going to post the mini but on my quest to find a more ugly Marcos I stumbled on that.

I still stand by crappy, the GT has a nice shape but really look at it. Look at the door line, look at the uneven panel gaps, look at the massive valley at the bonnet line where the panels should transition smoothly, look at the quarter lights which clearly belong to a different car.

Crappy as in parts bin thrown together.

I'm with @martymac, looks like a Marcos to me. Particularly if it is bright yellow (a mate has one).

Damn! I reckon @jeffl has it, ticks all the boxes. I’ve never heard of that before, and it’s less gopping than most kit-cars that followed the folded-cardboard car design philosophy.

It's definitely a Simca 1000

Thought I should add another pointless post to this thread even though op already knows what it is...

Could it have been The Alligator from Death Race 2000?
