stanski Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Spotted this the other day ? Any ideas? Looks like some sort of lotus to me or an early Jap such as early RX7 maybe or a Kit car? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 website on the Side leads to here http://trackvroad.co.uk/ is it an early TVR? Quote
350ash Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Pretty sure it's a TVR, but not sure what type. Quote
jim Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 I think it's a 280i coupe from the mid 1980s. Edit - compare it with this I just found on wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:280i_3_4_Rear.JPG Quote
