Personally I would have said it's a Bristol.
What car is this?
- Thread starter Diddums
- Start date

Could be a Bristol one off, certainly not one of their main. They did make their money by

There were loads of coach builders back in the day which did custom bodywork; maybe a pet-project of a coachbuilder?
if it cannot be identified as something from production, then it must be custom, no?

It's not going to be GT6 based as the engine wouldn't fit under that bonnet. It is most definitely going to to be a low volume/custom build. My guess would be it is based on a Sunbeam Alpine Harrington Coupe
It also look similar to the front of a Sabra

Could it be a Marcos of some sort?
EDIT - Infact
Have a look at this - http://www.marcoscars.net/models.htm#Luton
What do you think - I can't find road car images from work but it's not to far off?

Customised Bristol with one off parts or possible prototype?

Ignore my previous post
I give to you the Pininfarina Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Super Flow

from some of those images I think it's got the hall marks of the car above?

The headlights look like old ferrari's, that of the GTO (ish) and the bodystyle looks vaguely like GTB too.
Maybe a one off custom?
EDIT: maybe also front end MGB

Looks a bit like a Lenham GT to me . . . . . .

Apart from the front and part of the rear.
I definitely think this is a one-off.

This has been hovering on the internet for ages, pretty sure it is a one off conversion of a Sunbeam Tiger

A Stingray !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it is obscure and British my Dad and Grandad will probably know, I'll ask them.

Do it, but I doubt very much they'll be able to correctly identify it, after probably thousands of car enthusiasts across the globe have failed.

Looks like something by Falcon to me, similar to a Bolwell. Basically I'm thinking it's a kit car.

Isn't this just a photoshop?
I mean just look at the chromaticity of the car. The top half is oversaturated blue, but the bottom half has absolutely no colour even though there is plenty of luminance.
You don't get this in an actual photograph. The car has been mashed up from various cars, then desaturated and recoloured.
Also look at the light bleeding through under the front wheel, it should be pitch black under there but there's specks of light coming through.
