Title: Djetset 760
Post by: Djetset 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.

Yes, but quite an obscure one!

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

Sorry, it's not a Lazer!

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

OK, it just looked a bit like his Lotus Esprit proposal:

AFAIK this was planned to be sold commercially by a company.

Is it something related to the Lotus Eclat/Elite? A few similar design clues, though that rear wing is totally off.

No Lotus connection to my knowledge.

Was it built (or maybe only designed) between 1980 and 1985 ?

Djetset will be very busy with the Goodwood Festival of Speed organising.
I'm sure he'll be back soon once everything is in place.
I've been waiting for at least one reply for 2/3 weeks now...

Thanks Norman.
I admit I'm not the one who should blame him for that...

Sorry, but as Carnut mentioned, I have recently been out of action due to work pressures in the run-up to this year's  Goodwood Festival of Speed, plus a death in the family. 

So, after almost three weeks I am now back in action, and can confirm that this car is NOT Nick Topping's NJT Gullwing coupe!

A hint hey!  Hmmm, all I can think of for now is that I don't believe that an actual 'real' version of this car was ever built.  My image is taken from the cover of the leafler for this car. Not sure this wil help, but...
