SOLVED: Djetset #98 - Karmann Idea Roadster

[Djetset]

A point up for grabs if you can tell me what this is.

Here's a smaller version of the same picture. Makes it a bit easier to see what it looks like.

[Djetset]

Thanks.  The version I downloaded was rather larger than expected!

[Djetset]

The Rookies clearly couldn't handle the size of this one, so how about the Experts...?

It's a 1991 Karmann Idea Roadster

This is getting to be a regularity.  Correct again!

[Arunas]

Could anyone help with the correct ID of this car, for a point?  

[Paul Jaray]

I hope it predates the Fiat Barchetta...

I have no idea about the year, because I have no exact info about this car, unfortunately.

Image source of very modest reliability indicates it just as "MX-5", but I can't find anything more... Maybe someone else will do - please do not lock.

You're right about the source... I don't know any MX-5 which looks like this. This why it is here as the puzzle.

AC Ace concept?
