I'm a frayed knot... like you I KNOW I have seen those lights before, but I can't place it. Tried some other avenues, like the Lombardi FL1, Nissan AD1, still no joy. Rainbow is still the closest match in terms of proportion and style, but it isn't the Rainbow.
Those plugs look really weird, but it's got to be mid-engined hasn't it?
This is really bugging me now!

No it is not one of them Bryan, I will be honest I didn't know what a Trident Iceni was.
Good old Google.
This should help.

Well done. A very crazy car that worked from some angles but not others.
The museum was a good visit and enhanced as it had a Ferrari exhibition (some other Italian firm I believe) on at the same time.
The only thing to watch out for is of course they close at 12 noon for a long lunch. You have to admire them after all the years I spent hunched over paperwork with a sarnie.

Oddly the car looked great from the front and the back in my eyes.
It would just be something to turn up in though whether you liked it or not as it would turn heads like nothing else.
Glad it gave you something to think about.
Had to crop the picture well as through the screen you can see the bonnet of a Bagheera with Matra on it.
This is the one I liked best. Owned by the son of the founder

It has a touch of the Alpine A110 about it.

Slight deviation, but love or loath the Reno 5 turbo 2, one has just sold at anglia classic auctions for £60k

Build plate says Lancia Aurelia, but seeing as the engine is a V6 I had sort of got that far on my own...

Got to keep you on your toes Kev. As with the Appia this was more expensive than a Rolls back in the day.

A smashing car, very desirable. Shared a Fulvia for a few years and great fun. Amazing in deep snow, did better than a mates landrover.
This next posting is a bit different, but interesting. But I forgot what it was and wondered if anyone new. On a camp site in the Swiss mountains.
. I bet it was expensive what ever it is.
