Help identify a 70s sports car

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…

yep, but given the overall detail in the sketch… 😉

it i  so an odd time of year to have a fancy car out for a spin

The sketch is quite an accurate rendition of a William Towns Hustler Sport :-)

Which does raise the possibility that it could be an sort of kit car fantasy.

actual LOL. 

unfortunately, the tail lights a wrong and i’ll bet that there’s only one tailpipe 

could be a rochdale.

The OP didn’t specify whether it was made of wood or had room for a coffin… or count the wheels

Lancia monte carlo

Yeah, my money is on a dino or dino replica/kit car… you wouldn’t take out a real dino in this weather, unless you are totally mad!!

It’s a £300k car lol!

Nah, they have square rear light units, not individual round ones.

spiky writing fits the bill

Looks like Rodney and del boys reliant.

I think you need to take a numeracy test/course and then go count the wheels again

The Mini Marcos was really petite and seems to have had any number and configuration of lights on the back at different points by all of them round

Matra Simca

My dad had one. Only single round lights iirc.

C’mon OP, you should at least be able to rule out a Ferarri Dino, they are pretty distinctive looking!

fiat x19 ?

Can’t be… single tail pipe on the wrong side, square light clusters

Definitely looking like a Fiat 850 Sport Coupe. Just google it.

It was the Bicester Scramble today, so there was plenty of very expensive cars on the roads (even if most of the really fancy stuff gets trailered).

“Deffo H from the 1970s”

H is 60s.    68/69?

H is ’69-70.

I’d say Fiat 850 is the most likely.

It’s potentialy a Fiat, but there’s a bit of a visual difference between a Fiat and a Ferarri!

God, Imagine google/chat GPT watching this thread for captchas…

“Pick all the pictures that contain Ferarris”….

My uncle had a fiat coupe just like that green one above.
1300 twin cam, made all the right noises, and felt quick to 9yo me, but probably only had about 70bhp.

looked good irl though

I bet they are worth a lot of money these days… maybe not as much as a Ferarri Dino, though, to be fair.

Have they salted the roads recently ? If not, there’s every possibility a Dino may be out and about.  And they are tiny compared to today’s cars…

Morecashthandash has it.

Fiat 850 for sure.

Thank you.

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

Did they really do that? just why? it’s a classic car in it’s own right, and they won’t be fooling anyone.

It’s a bit like when peole adverstise an M-sport BMW 3 series bimmer…it’s not an M3, it’s a diesel powed potato.

And if it looked crappy… Def Marcos.

You really think that looks crappy?

I don’t think the OP drew a Marcos though, especially if that’s engine louvres at the back

It was never going to be a marcos,  the sketchy sketch of the rear end and the shape of the tail lights rule that out pretty easily.

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

But I stand by my point…

Mmmmmm sexy…

Ooh, a ‘best and worst Marcos’ thread

That almost works, it’s like a mash-up of an E-type Jag, a Cobra, and some sort of Ferarri!

probably more like putting scuderia shield stickers in the front wings of a 90’s fiat 500. just a bit of ironic fun.

I wondered if it might have been an Alfasud; fantastic little sports coupé with a boxer engine, but like most British cars of the period, and all Italian cars, they’re incredibly rare because of iron moth. And no louvres.

Just had a thought, how about an Adams Probe 15?
