The second one looks like or is very close to a Pontiac fiero.

Yep, that's what it is. Mid-engined with a space-frame chassis to which various grades of Enduraflex plastic body panels were attached.

Damn I thought it might run a bit longer :lol: twin rotor pre-X7 apparently worth a mint!

I can't take the credit for that, I waved the iPad under my sons nose (he's 13) and he got it in a blink!
 
Well I liked the look of this so much, I just spent 1 1/2 searching Google for it. Hoping I could spot those hub caps somewhere. Alas I ain't found nouwt. Will be watching with interest. Assuming it's not the Bastard child of a Jesson Interceptor and a Renault Alpine that is. :wink:

Spot-on, well done I thought this one might run :thumbsup:

The one-off DBS Southeby Special made in 1971 for Embassy/JPS Tobacco (Southeby was a short-lived brand) and used by Graham Hill as a promotional vehicle, in the early 70's it was painted white with Embassy red stripes and decals and was used by my friends father who was a boss at Wills Tobacco in Bristol and I got a ride to school in it :) It turned up at various motorsport events for a few years and disappeared. As far as I can find out it's now back in it's original burgundy paint and appeared at a London event a few years ago.

It's actually RHD but I flipped the pic and cropped it to try and throw the image search cheats off the scent :wink:

Apologies for the poor quality photo, did own one like this in 1974, probably the most disastrous car ever bought.

Tiny picture but I believe that's a NSU Ro80
With indeed a very troublesome engine :lol:

Correct (on both counts) I ended up leaving the car on the dealers forecourt the day before I went overseas for three years. There was money still owing on the car.
Great shame in a way, as when it did run OK it was a pleasure to drive, even with a semi-auto 3 speed gearbox.
