Name The Car

[Brett]

Beaten to it by Jinx!

I still want one though.

[kevint]

Jinx is correct, over to you

[jinx]

In Coventry they had the Rover parts bin and created poetry.  The people behind the car shown here, started with a clean sheet, probably more money than sense and the use of a once famous name. They produced this. :xconfused

I doubt you need them but I couldn\'t give you any clues anyway because I can\'t imagine what they were thinking of.

@Ken, Wiima i know, they are rare. But that thing, i have never seen that

[Kodiak]

I\'d say Spyker but from memory the lights are wrong...

[KenD]

Isn\'t this an open hybrid sports car or something odd....if it\'s what I think it is (trouble is I can\'t remember the name!) it had a BMW engine....??

[jinx]

Kodiak - No not a Spyker (another famous name poorly served of late) To be fair there though was an alternative rear light treatment on later versions of this item.  Amazingly there were enough customers with ludicrously fat wallets and no taste to make the idea of a production run a reality. In case you had not noticed, it\'s not my cup of tea at all but then...we\'re all different.:o

Ken - Not too much of the Hybrid about this AFAIK but your engine choice is right.  

I\'m amazed this didn\'t go like the proverbial hot cake but I\'m sure Will, Brett or Nigel will be along shortly to deliver the killer blow.

Sounds like I had better jump in then...is it the Veritas RS.III?

[jinx]

Sadly it is Ken...

Here\'s the full thing in all its.... glory.

[KenD]

I share your view on this one jinx - I can think of better things to do with the money that one of those costs!  

And they did produce a hybrid....!

I can\'t see this one lasting too long.....

You giving extra points for the name of the theme tune\'s composer?

[KenD]

You giving extra points for the name of the theme tune\'s composer?

Depends on which one you\'re thinking of!  One particular theme is probably more associated with it\'s predecessor .

[Brett]

Sorry - been busy with work... but I will return! :Giggle

[KenD]

C\'mon jinx, are you going to name it?

Had three of these in varying Zephyr and Zodiac MK4 guises, plus two MK11\'s and two MK 3\'s with the last being a rare Zodiac Executive with floor change and single front seats , they made excellent tow cars :Thumbsup!
