Since Mark has declared that someone else should post another one, here is a perhaps more challenging one to identify, also from last weekend (and no, the report is not yet published or even written, before you think the answer may lurk elsewhere!).
It's not a one-off.

Lancia made a bitch basket, too?
Not even close.
Bristol? 404?
No, not a Bristol.

Look in the background.
..... and you see a Morris Marina and a Rover 216 Cabrio.
There is no sign of Lancia anywhere on that picture.
Try again.

Must've been the Rover then.
Hmm...
Annoyingly familiar. Can't quite place it though.
Marcos Mini?

Marcos Mini?
No....... right sort of guess, but it's earlier than the Mini Marcos.
And Mark - "annoyingly familiar"? If it really is for you, then I am impressed as this is an exceedingly rare car. i have never ever seen one before. The car that replaced it s something you see at shows from time to time, but this one is hens teeth rare!
Ginetta G3?
Not a Ginetta, I can tell you that much. Older than that.
It is indeed older than Ginetta (though not by all that much)........
This thread seems to have died.
Last chance to answer this before I reveal what this car is later today.
It looks so familiar.

I doubt it........ even I did not know what it was when I saw it!
It is a Rochdale GT. Rochdale was a small British company better known for the Olympic model which was the successor to this 1957 car. Apparently about 1350 of these fibre glass bodied cars were made, but this one is the only one left in the UK now.
