guess the car

[Yank]

Fiat X1/9 ?

Yes.

It could have been one of three cars, only two of which would ever have been seen in that color - X 1/9, Stratos, or 308GT4.

 

[Hoopsontoast]

Yes.

Or a Lamborghini Uracco I think, which I came across after looking at cars that had a similar design door handle as the Morris Marina.

Isn't a fast-fill petrol "hole" with a lock in it a bit of a contradiction?

Looks not unlike the fuel-filler cap on the S2 Lotus Exige that one.

 

[robs]

Yes, but no.

 

[tiggers]

MG TF? My sister in law had one and I borrowed it a few times, sure it had a cap like that, but i might be going mad.

I suppose one could just search Gandini's CV from 1971-1975 or so.

Those handles were still present on the Silhouette and Jalpa.

@tiggers Not quite ...but close enough! MGF.

 

[robs]

I suspect this one might be very quick...:

 

[RJohan]

Ooh yes, my favourite racing car of all time the 917. What's more I think that is one of the road conversion versions as well

I finally saw one in the flesh at the Porsche museum some years ago. I decided that me at 6'3" wouldn't fit But there is always the spyder version

@robs Fusher Fury pursing its lips ?

 

[robs]

No.... a clue or two - it's a diesel dating from 2006, and quite quick.

Oh, the LSR JCB thing?

 

[Rockmeister]

I’m blank on this… closest I could come was the Trident, but it’s not. Kit car?

 

[robs]

Yes to Gareth.
Probably not fair to have a one off, but it was fairly well known and distinctive - JCB Dieselmax.
