Spotted: Some type of odd contraption.

[16hypen3sp]

Any know make/model?

Must be a new project for the guy hauling it. Should be quite the cool looking car when its all said and done.
I wish I had a pic of the rear end tho. Very unique looking thing.

gah... what is it... Not opel gt... but along those lines...

[SpeedyZ]

lotus europa maybe, looks heavily modified if thats what it was

[AndyL]

no... europa's totally different front and back

fuck, something about that car screams at me like I should know what it is.

I see the late 70's stingray in it, Alpha Romeo, the headlights scream porsche...

I give up, but I swear to god I know it, I just can't fucking recall it.

[BMDUBS]

Judging from the wheels it is a VW based kit car...?

[AndyL]

like spikers - I know this car - just can't place the name... pretty sure it's a production model.

[spikerS]

I really want to say it is a GSM Flamingo, but it is not quite there, I wish I was more familiar with the car, or we had more pics of the back...

It really does look like one that they tried to make into a shooting brake.

GP? not GP CENTRON, maybe similar model

Wow, good luck finding after market rims for that thing, Odd bolt pattern is in fact odd.

[Graham_A_M]

Word, Ive never seen that before, asides from some of the abominations to come out of Russia or the like....

No, none of the lines match up, its all the small things, it couldnt of been that to start with, you may as well just make a whole new car for how much shit is different between the two. Interesting, Im quite curious as to what this thing really is. That hub bolt pattern tells me its very much eastern European, but where and what exactly is beyond me.

[rob the knob]

similar to DEVID D?



as other say, yes VW wheel pattern

[jacx]

pretty sure it is an Invader GT5 kit car built on a 70's VW Beetle chassis

time for work. maybe some one post answer when back.

rob knows car, not this car.

kit, yes.

round window in c pillar is unique.
plus ttops, one wiper, odd doors - two piece?, and is that towing light on back panel of auto or something attached to car permanent?

[spikerS]

yeah, after searching more, my vote is that it is a Vokaro.



and if it is, then I had no idea, and retract my previous statements.

[AndyL]

front end is definitely invader GT...

I know this car - it was in the back lot at the MG shop forever... It's killing me...

I really think BMDUBS is right....those seem like vintage VW wheels.

Look up "VW bus wheels" on google images and you'll see the same wheels.

That got me thinking (I have a bus), and those look more like beetle rims to me, so 100% a kit car IMO.
