Quote from: Casey;848650No, not rotary.
 
Clue, made in Britain to order with a variety of engines...

Reliant Scimitar?  Surely not...

Argyll Turbo - correct, I was expecting to have to give a few clues, so well done sir, over to you!

Really long wheelbase, mid-engine 70\'s "supercar" that never made it, costing more than a Porsche 911 at the time :eek:

It was purely the wheel and the roofline that gave it away for me. Remember seeing one in a book when I was younger and it\'s remained in my memory ever since apparently! I\'ll put one up as soon as I find a worthy contender! Also, better check its not something that has already been put up!

Don\'t know how long this will take you all, as I don\'t quite know what to expect from you yet!

Initially thought it was a Mini Marcos... but no.
 
Rear window seems european but the rear bumper (especially the tail light) looks very classic Americana.
 
Stumped. Very Stumped
 
Looking at a Mini Marcos/Ford Murcury/Kharman Ghia-esque thing... Not a clue :Thumbsup!
FC3S T2 in Red(-ish)

Is that one of those Citroen or Peugeot streamliners...
 
but then wire spokeys suggests a 1960\'s vintage

Nope to all guesses so far... I\'ll give you a tip. It\'s European.

Another clue... It was raced by a famous British racing driver in Le Mans. This particular car I\'ve put the photo up of is of a redesigned car by a British designer. The model this car was based on we\'re produced in the late 50s and less than a dozen were made.

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!

Looks similar to the Lister LM - were the dozen cars all redesigned in the same way?

I though the Lister\'s had a less bulbous back end
 
It\'s looks like a fat jaguar xk120 :Giggle
