Saw this the other day at the local shopping center. I'm thinking it's an Austin Healy with a modified body kit, but I wanted to see if anyone here can definitively say. Photos taken with my cell phone.
It did look very good. My dilemma came from the fact that there was no badging anywhere on the car. Nor did I see any immediately identifying badges in the interior. Quick research later that even led me to think Austin Healey, too. Though the location of the side mirrors, and lack of side detail in the metal, fooled me a bit. My first thought was Cobra.
Looks like an Autin Healey reproduction or kit car .. hence the lack of badges. Classic Roadsters makes one, as does the Healey Factory.
No way, look at the rear wheels sticking out and the jacked up looking wheel gap.. May be a kit with that stance. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
It's a Austin Healey fiberglass knock off. A couple of things give it away. First off the original AH had a slightly curved windshield, this one is obviously flat, which is way cheaper to work with on a reproduction. Also, the left and right windshield frame members are way too bulky as compared to the original metal units (they had to bulk them up in fiberglass to get the strength). Any car designer worth their weight in salt would never let a frame like that go into production. The whole windshield assembly looks like a catchers mitt, not something designed to deflect the wind. It's fake guys.
Compare it to the windshield on this original AH. http://www.carpictures.com/media/image/full/05IIM090218153C/1967-Austin-Healey-3000-Mk-III-C-full.jpeg
