Early 60s (no quarterlights) UK fibreglass something?? Not a baby Berkeley/Sprite size, but a bit bigger and posh enough to get a proper dashboard (it looks a bit like Lotus Elan dash??). Probably newer headrests and I don't trust the lump poking through the bonnet, so it's been a bit boyracered. Something like a Turner or Fairthorpe?? |

I think possibly something newer that's meant to look older, by some of the features it was either built or heavily modernised in the late 80s/early 90s. It looks familiar but no concrete suggestions. -- Last edit: 2020-03-28 01:48:52 |

Modified Triumph GT6 perhaps? the power bulge ![[Image: triumphi1.1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/triumphi1.1.jpg) dashboard ![[Image: triumphdash.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/triumphdash.jpg) fuel cap ![[Image: fuelcap.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/fuelcap.jpg) It kinda resembles that. -- Last edit: 2020-03-28 03:48:33 |

I did wonder about Spit/GT6 because of the fuel cap, but didn't click on the dashboard match, and rejected the idea because I couldn't see how a rectangular front grille outline fits what's visible. It has to be a Spit because of the fuel cap - GT6 very different system - too comlicated to change. Mk1-3 Spits have a shallow/thin feature line on the bonnet, not a full bulge like this one (or your linked pic of what looks like a tweaked Spit with a GT6 bonnet and non-standard wing vents). But it's easy to swap bonnets, and maybe this one's been streamlined/prettified to change the grille inlet and remove the trim strips along wing tops. So I can go for Spitfire with round sidelights as Mk1/2 but wood dash from Mk3 (possibly tweaked to add more wood bits and maybe proper wood instead of veneer). Or it's a Mk3 or even Mk4 (which would give headrests and other black interior bits) fitted with an older GT6 bonnet. We all love a good mongrel, don't we ...... |
