    looks kinda like the car in the old 80's show hardcastle and mccormack. i know it was a kit but for the life of me i can't remember the name of it. good buy tho.

    thanks dave for the link. that sure looks like the same car. even a v.w. chassis. i guess all those years of mindless tv watching pays off in the end.

    Front looks like a Bradley but those rear quarters scream Ferrari so I would go with that. See what else you can find out. :clap:

    I've had a couple of hunches on this car, but they did not pan out.

    It is closest to a Kelmark in my mind, but it really isn't.

    Here is a link to Kit Car Magazine's discussion board ...

    http://www.kitcarmagazine.com/Discussion-Forum/default.asp

    I would bet someone there has an answer for you.
