How about a new round of guess that car?

[911_Carrera]

Here goes.

It looks like a Fiat X1/9 with a very dodgy roof removing operation done on it. Where's the roll-over protection?

 

[Jugend]

TVR?

 

[911_Carrera]

Daan is on the right lines(ish)

 

[Famine]

Triumph TR7, with a very dodgy roof job done on it...

 

[911_Carrera]

You're all gonna have to try harder than that .

 

[mr_pushrod]

It's definately a kit car, I've seen it before in an old magazine I have. Can't quite put my finger on it though......

 

[911_Carrera]

Some progress being made here.

 

[mr_pushrod]

Right, I'm hunting for that magazine, this is getting on my tits too much!

 

[Jay]

what ever it is that steering wheel looks awful, hate to have to drive it with that wheel

 

[Famine]

It's not one of the older Ginettas is it? A G32 perhaps?

 

[911_Carrera]

Nope. I wonder if mr_pushrod's found that magazine yet.

Tell him not to bother. It's a Cavallo Estivo

From Fiat X1/9 to that. Well done.
That was exactly the link I was going to post as well. Your go.

Here's one I saw earlier today and saved it for this very competition.

 

[911_Carrera]

Is it a ford kit car?

 

[Famine]

The wheels scream Ferrari, but the nose says Lola...

 

[daan]

I know what it's called, but I know nothing else about it. I just found the picture. I'll see if I can find any info.

EDIT: It's VW Beetle based

 

[Innotech]

I looks like an old Avenger kitcar, but more refined and slimmer like a Ligier JS2...so Im guessing it is a kitcar. If not, then congrats cause you stumped me

 

[daan]

Another pic

Most of the info I've found so far seems to be Dutch/German

 

[mr_pushrod]

Bah! Had to go and do something so didn't find the magazine I was looking for! I have some 80's kit car mags as well, looks like they are needed for this next car.

 

[Innotech]

I REALLY should know this >_

 

[911_Carrera]

Ferrari Dino Kit Car?

No, its likely some odd VW powered kitcar, or like a Ledl or a Uno. I doubt its either one.

 

[911_Carrera]

Yeah. it was the first thing that made any sense when you search for "vw beetle based kit car"

 

[mr_pushrod]

Well, there are definate elements of Ford GT40 in there and trying to narrow it down, I'd say it was a british kit. The second car looks like it's wearing Wolfrace wheels.

Wolfrace? what is Wolfrace?

 

[Jugend]

Wolfrace is a wheel brand (or at least was...)

Ahh. SO THAT epxlains why the Evans Series One supercar was called Wolfrace. It used Wolfrace wheels and someone mistook it for the car name.

 

[mr_pushrod]

I think they still do make wheels, BTW, I meant the FIRST car not the second
