Near Hadleigh Suffolk around lunchtime, a dark silver car coming towards me. At first I thought Lotus Eclat, but as it went past it was shorter/stubbier. Reminded me of a Delorean. But obviously was neither. Some shades of Ginetta cheese wedge in there too, but it looked wider and shorter than Ginettas I've seen. Not a Monte Carlo/038, but similar stubby rear window arrangement (like it has been cut n shut too short).

Looked like FG bodywork, so I assumed a kit... any ideas?

Ginetta g26?

Possibly a Quantum coupe or saloon.

If it was small then maybe a Midas coupe.

Any of those fit the bill?

Just reading again about the montecarlo rear, potentially a TVR Tamsin coupe.

Sounds more like a G32 than a G26 to me. Although they aren't wide!

Maybe the Reflex Beta for something really obscure!

many thanks all suggestions smile

I think I'm gonna go with Ginetta G32 (but I'm not 100% convinced lol!)

I do like that AC3000 though...havent seen one of those before.

If your eyes are still burning, it could have been a Hensen M30

Not the Matra.

I'm still going for the Ginetta I think.

Unfortunately I'm unlikely to see it again so we'll all have to live with a little bit of "I wonder" for the rest of our lives!
