looks something like an Alfa Giuletta, except for the flares,a dn hood scoop/bump, but that would make it Italian.

Maybe AC, an Allard, maybe its an Alvis , or an Austin Martin. Bristol made some cars with an interesting centered grill like these cars have. Could be a Jenson.

Thems the odd ball British makes I figure it might be. Britian also had many coach builders back in the day, I have seen some neat body kits or conversions on Triumph chassis amoung others, so it could be a short run kit or custom built. (what ever it is it surely was a short production run)

Too me the flares look like they might have been added to the original car, i might be wrong, but they just stick out like added flares.

Any hints on year of manufacture, engine size? Where was the phot taken, looks like a nice car show.


Heck we all maybe 914 nuts, but these other cars are really neat too. My odd ball cars go beyond my 914's, heck just about every car i own is odd ball except for the Vanagon, but even then, a Vanagon isn't seen that much these days anymore.

Anyway looking forward to what this car is and its history.
