For a point can you tell me what this is, and importantly the reason why it looks like this?!!
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Is it a Customotive Chimo?

Come on Pros, you know this one.

Is it a modified Lamorghini Jarama? Updated to US safety requirements?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

From a BL brand, I'd reckon. And I suspect its appearance is related to its source of motive power.

Hmmm, on the right lines brand wise, but in no other area!

Then the appearance could be related to bumper / safety regulations.

Nothing to do with a Volvo, and also nothing with safety regulations either I'm afraid.

Perhaps the sharing of TR7/8 Components with other BL makes / models, to lower production costs?

Oh Otto, your so close.  It is TR7/8-related, but it's not a cost reduction/component sharing exercise.  And no Arunas, nothing to do with a kit car.  Come on Otto, I'll hold it for you for 24 hours to work out what/why this is.

Is this a variation of the Lynx project?

The "Broadside" concept had a pretty normal-looking (for a TR7/8) front clip. Perhaps this is an attempt at a Stag replacement?

I admire your perserverance Otto, but sadly not.

Shame, because you'll kick yourself when the answer is revealed.  Sleep on it, and maybe the answer will come to you.

One of the countless ADO projects, isn't it?

Djetset

Not really!  I think it's fair to say that Otto has established that it's BL though, and something connected with the Triumph TR7/8.  I'm not saying anything more than that!

Wow, this has been here a life time.  Can the real Pros now crack this mystery?

A possible, but still born Triumph TR7/8 successor?
