This car confounded the experts last weekend so it is back. Maybe I’ll run it until you guys get it right!
Here’s a side view:
Hints: It is NOT a kit car. This was a purpose-built race car, though street legal. The company existed in the 60s & 70s.
Congrats: You have me *absolutely* stumped! It looks to be the bastard child of a Marcos, a Renault LeMans car, and a Sterling kit car….!
Since those are *real* Minilite wheels and what appears to be ‘beehive’ taillights, I’ll guess it’s British in origin.
Being a Ford man I was going to say it was a Pantera, but as usual I am wrong 🙂 I would have to agree with vrooomie that it looks British.
John Morrow aka “Mad Dog” may know what it is, as it both comes from the UK, AND I spotted it outside Rick Korn’s shop, not far from where John lives. I wonder where John’s been lately?
I was thinking Bizzarrini or a Nomad but neither are correct… I’m stumped.
Well… it looks like I have indeed stumped the chum^X^X^Xexperts!
This is a Piper GT.

Heh, love the Wikipedia category “Defunct motor vehicle manufacturers of the United Kingdom” Which turns out to be a much larger list than I thought.
““Defunct motor vehicle manufacturers of the United Kingdom” Which turns out to be a much larger list than I thought.”
Check *this* out: according to Floyd Clymer, this is onlya *partial* list!
