Djetset 760
« on: January 26, 2016, 01:35:20 PM »
Here is the first of a new set of fuzzy puzzles.  So, to gain a point, what is the make, model designation and year of this car please?

I can see the likeness, but it's not a Lotus Esprit.

It seems awfully familiar but I can't put my finger on its name.  It's not Lazer is it?

To be honest, the designer of this car is not totally clear, but I doubt that it was Oliver Winterbottom.
