Everyone loves a mystery.
Prowling round Goodwood on Tuesday I came across a strange piece of V8 exotica. It was being tested by 4 gentlemen (who gave the impression of sharing it). When asked what it was they replied shiftily, 'Don't know - we part exchanged it - it looked fast'.
That's all they were prepared to divulge.
As I said it was V8, sounded big and american, like a 6.3 chevy, two seater, hard top, mid engined, AP brakes, road going (lights etc), no badges, looked quite nice inside, Esprit/Diablo like dash.
Looked a bit like a cross of a XJ220, small Diablo and a kit car.
These chaps were obviously serious about their car, as it was carted off in a posh transporter.
Any ideas?

Found it!
It was a Spectre R42. Saw another racing version last Saturday, sprinting at Goodwood.
Can't seem to find much info on them anywhere on the web. Found a couple of pictures of an R45 (1998) and it looks terrific!
