Not something I've heard of before. Could be a dealer mod, could be a new sticker GM is throwing on Z06 models with the competition gray wheels and a lack of the leather option interior. I'm not sure. I'd have heard of it on GMI by now, I'd think.
Oh, saw this on the way home from my grandparents house:
Saleen 427R Convertible. The guy driving it looked like a douche, drove the car like a pansy. I was MAJORLY disappointed.

That NSX could still be repaired... the engine should be in fine order... it will just take lots of money to repair that beast

You have to remember the body's made out of aluminium... replacement panels are pretty expensive, and judging by the pics the chassis is bent. I'd say it's totaled, unfortunately.

Then an old school Land Rover Discovery.
Not a Discovery, and not even a Defender which is the current name for that shape. Looks like a Series 2, made from 1961 to 1971. The shape of the body itself actually looks like a Series 1 but the lights on the wings and not flanking the grille are definitely from the later car.
Then inside there was this, it had Lotus badges on the rims but I doubt it was a 7.
Looks to me like a genuine 7, though probably a Caterham that someone has fitted Lotus badges to. Good enough though 👍 Looks "too" genuine to be one of the many kit replicas.

It's definitely not a Lotus Super 7 (at least not in it's original form), not because it is a LHD, as some LS7 cars were fitted with LHD, but it is the gilled hood that suggests it to be something else... However, as you say, it is possible that it is a Caterham 7 with Lotus badges (although who ever thought it was a good idea to swap badges needs a thorough lashing), as it did come with gilled hoods (although the pattern doesn't look quite the same as I remember?).
For those with an affection towards the Seven, on that same visit to the Dino, I also came across the predecessor of the Seven, a 1953 Lotus MK VI Roadster:
I'm not sure how many are still in existence, but I believe only 100 were ever built, and I suspect very few are in as good of a condition as this. Truly a remarkable automobile. 👍
However, that Beta you spotted is so much nicer! 👍
It depends on where you're looking. In the Bay Area they are very common... and often regarded as the poor man's Porsche back in the days. It is especially common in Berkeley, where I think it was often regarded as the Hippies' Porsche.
So on my first day in Berkeley and what do I find outside of Saul's (the finest deli style restaurant outside of NY... oh and Katz's in Austin of course!
)...
A Hippie Porsche.

Returned from Idaho with 2 spots
Sweet F430 Spider (gave the guy a thumbs up and he revved her up)(taken through a really dirty window btw)
This ugly C5/Vintage vette. My first seen in real life after reading about it in a magazine. Interesting concept, crap result

No pics, but driving down to Boulder today, I saw:
- new Shelby GT500
- 1st-gen targa NSX
- Mk 4 Supra with scoops over the rear side windows (like you'd see on a Mustang)
- Two Evo 8's, one with a carbon fiber trunk lid, hood, and corner-bumper splitters
- Evo X
- New STI
- A few old muscle cars and hot rods
I also picked up a sweet Ferrari book covering the history of its road and racing cars through 2004.

This Z06 (which is the first I've seen in the flesh):
Then about 10 seconds later, this 997 turbo:
Then I saw another 997 turbo (in silver) coming back from lunch, but I figured I already a picture of one so I didn't bother. Also while that first pic may look like a valet area, it's shared with my workplace so

Today I saw a Pontiac G8 right outside my house, Porsche 911 Turbo and Maser Quattraporte.
And a Ferrari F512M....in RHD. Only 75 ever made out of a total of 501 according to wikipedia. Probably will be my best spot for a long time.
No point uploading pics of the others.
