    Funny you should mention that! When I saw this thread earlier today, I thought the emblem looked something like the Isdera, so I sought out a picture of the logo. Not the same. The one on the car almost looks like a stylized seahorse. I can't identify it.

    This car is an Alfa-Romeo Montreal rebodied "a la" Alfa 33 Stradale for a private collector in Italy, Mr Vincenzo Marciano.
    Car is known as "Alfa-Romeo Marciano 268A". Car was built in 1972 (maybe with the help of some guys from Autodelta).
    Montreal Engine, 33 stradale wheels, carbs, electronics, Jaguar differential, Ferrari lights & screens.
    The car has seen little competition in the 70's to the early 80's.

    I meant the car of El Wayne's post.

    Car is still in Italy in private collection.

    Best.

    Thank YOU - I poked 'round and 'round - wondered what it could it could have been rebodied from, but, a Montreal, how about that?

    Best I could come up with was a smorgasbord of good stuff from: 33 Stradale/TZ/Speciale/Manufacturer's Competition

    I was at a car show at Legendary Motor Car a few years ago and spotted this thing. Anyone have any idea what it is?

    It looks to me like a modified Caterham 21.

    UK car.
    It's a Catheram 21 from 1995 with a slightly modified body.
    Was meant to be a small light sportscar made by the Lotus seven factory Catheram but it has no great success and the production stopped in 2000.

    Best.

    Nope, in English the correct vernacular is 'kink' unless you're sprechen or that Hofmeister cretin used your car as a doorstop again...;)

    it's in the teens..wide angle v-twin...rhd.... in the uk...looks morganish but the front suspension looks french..almost amilcarish...perhaps a special..the brits were fond of specials with morgan front ends and a rear end from a salmson or such..this could have bits of many things...a lot of gn and frasier-nash cyclecars looked much the same....

    Haha! I looked at the AH3000 picture and thought .. damn that looks like Vienna! And it indeed is :D

    EDIT: Looks more like the Graz or Innsbruck location of the Sacher.

    Rapid is a bit hyperbolic.
