Anyone ever see one of these before? Know anything about it?

[Black88GTA]

I saw this car today at a local repair shop. It was VERY small, awesome looking (well - needed restoration, but cool nonetheless), looked to be almost all fiberglass. The car was only a bit above waist high - very low slung.

The guy who runs the shop told me that it is one of only 3 in the country. Anyone know what it is? He actually told me the name (plus it was on the badge in front of the hood) but I forgot it.

Sorry for terrible quality pics...it was dusk, and my cameraphone sucks. You can see my Conquest parked next to it in pic 3

Indeed.

reminds me of a datsun...I think...or an ugly hunk of metal.....same thing...

Some type of kit car perhaps?

 

[Iron Woode]

resembles a Datsun Z 500, or an Opel GT or one of several other cars.

Ancient Ferrarri?

 

[Heisenberg]

Looks kinda like a cross between an Aston Martin DB9 and a C3 Corvette to me.

 

[middlehead]

Looks familiar, but not familiar enough to really register

 

[Cabages]

I swear I have seen that on serious wheels before.

It's a Marcos.

EDIT: Like this, right? Better picture here.

Winnar...that's the name. I was trying to think of what he said it was, but couldn't remember it.

Yea its a Marcos, I just saw that top gear episode from last year the other day with the new Marcos. Yes they are Brittish made specialty racing cars. I didn't even know they even came over here.

Holy jittery camera batman! Actually it just not good with the nighttime shots.


That pos is a fiberglass kit car based on either the a ford pinto or a '70s model 280Z. I know as I had a few myself.

This is a kit car, I'm assuming.I'd love to see this thing get t-boned by a semi.

 

[Black88GTA]

I found a good link of what it's SUPPOSED to look like
Seems the one I saw is a late 60s - early 70s model?

That is just wrong. One of the only cars I want from the 70's/80's from Japan would be a Datsun 280Z. I love them!!!

The logo gave it away. It'd be impossible to identify without it.

Winnar. That car is indeed a Marcos. BTW, Black88GTA, i understand that you phone camera sucks, but you could atleast hold you phone steady. all of the pics except the last one were useless as they were too jittery.
