I stumbled upon this car at a show last year. The front end had a very E-type or 275GTB look to it, but was nothing of the sort. I’d never seen one in the flesh, so it is a rare beast indeed. Can you ID the car?

Fiat Abarth “Double Bubble.”
You are close, in an oddly sychronistic/stylistic way, but still wrong in fact. 😉
Its one of those kit cars based on a mini. Can`t remember the name.
Nope, not at all Ove. This is a stock sports car. It even has some racing provenance.
I’m guessing that I am way off base, but it’s not an Alpine, is it?
Not an Alpine, but that is a good guess.
Hmmmmmm…
Front end is reminiscent of 275 GTB or E-Type.
Rare Beast. Hmmmmm…
Alpine is a “good guess”.
I guess that would mean it’s a
Deutsch-Bonnet.
I’m surprised vroomie didn’t get this one. He’s full of knowledge about obscure cars, especially if they’re front-drive and powered by smokey two-strokes. What he doesn’t know about cars ain’t worth knowin.
And rocks. Vroomie knows a lot ’bout rocks.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner.
I only know about rocks because they’re what comprise most of my gray matter. Matter of fact, there’s a rock called ‘graywacke’ that would explain why I missed this one…!
IIRC, the valve springs of the D-B engine were torsion bars!
Cool car, CG!

Hell..what I *know* about old, obscure cars ain’t worth knowin!
