What’s this then. Covered for 10yrs plus.

[SillyALFALove]

I’ve walked past this for 10yrs plus. Always undercover until the recent winds when it showed itself.

Every now and then I’ve peaked but it’s never shown itself until now…

I’m surprised how good the paint seems having been covered so long.

What is it?!

I’ve had suggestions on Fb of Lotus Espirt, Lancia Montecarlo. F512 TR and many others but none match..

For those who know, it’ll be obvious, for all those I know, no one’s ID’d it yet…

I would go with a Pontiac Fiero based Testarossa replica

[moffspeed]

Midas ??

[Mikebentley]

I thought Pontiac Fiero based kit car Testarossa too.

[Some Gump]

Looks to me like it's a ferrari testarossa replica of some sort..

The butresses, red box etc (whilst woefully inaccurate) do sort of show homage to

Very good shout I reckon.

[Dapster]

Fiero based Testarossa sounds like a good shout

Except the Fiero vehicle has sharp-edged buttresses and the uncovered mystery car has very obvious flat-edged buttresses.

And only one has a visible seam at the back of the B pillar extending over the roof.

But they're both red.

I was lazy finding a pic! This one is a better match

[SillyALFALove]

Cheers guys!

I’ve scratched my itch and a long term question of “What’s below that cover? has been answered.

I’d known of the conversion but not that there were variations and never even made the link is so long since I’d seen one.

Ta!

Maybe the many Fiero based kit cars are not the same kit.

But they’re are all based on a Fiero.

Hateful things I use to maintain a Fezza rep for a guy the Fiero was ste made even worse by the fake body kit , dont get me started on the Pontiac electrics/loom quality

[Llew]

That's a real mystery!! At first I thought it was a Heron MJ1 (Esprit clone thing).... I don't think it's a Fiero based car.... Confusing, let's see if the hive mind can solve this.

Llew. For now I’m consigning it to Fiero based Testarossa thing of some sort.

…. Pending big wind and it not getting a new cover which i guess unlikely looking at the lack of compassion any of that lot have had…

Good for you

Your smug wink must mean you know what it is. And good for you if you do! I personally don't think it's a Fiero based kit car but am all out of ideas. Care to share your thoughts?
