Hello, I just thought I'd introduce myself to all of you on here. My name is Tony, living in England, I don't have an Esprit (and I'm not likely to have one any time soon) but I do love the car and I have been reading this forum for a while

Now on to my question....
I know its a little off topic for the Esprit section and probably should be asked in another part but after seeing it in the "New Esprit: what do we want?" post I had to ask, what is the correct name for the style of doors on a Lamborghini? they are NOT "gull-wing" doors.
Gull-wing doors pivot from near the centre of the roof, the doors on a Lamborghini pivot on the front and move up vertically, I have heard/seen this type called "Swing-wing doors" and "scissor doors" so what is the correct name?
