    Four doors = not any factory Aston Martin 'til the Rapide, IIRC. DM, I think we're in need of a clue!

    No, you’re not. :) Not after wejjy’s post anyway. All you need now is the model (and, preferably, the production years).

    Oh yeah, welcome back, John! :)

    Not the 1969 prototype but you're almost there. I'll still need the full name of the (very low-volume) production model though.

    MP230 was the designation of that 1969 prototype you mentioned. MP231 appears to have been introduced as another prototype I’m currently, uhm, looking for. The car I posted is a Lagonda V8 Series 1 (of which only 7 were made) but you got the production years right and mentioned ‘Lagonda’ in the previous answer so, what the hell, it’s yours.

    Ok I'm hoping this will be a bit of a challenge there's enough in the picture to show the type.

    Anyway Full name and years of production.

    But yes the Crosley Hotshot Roadster convertible it is.

    Jalopnik seem to have a bit of a thing for Crosley (bizarrely, and yet totally understandable - yes, they had one of the worst engines of all time and barely sold any cars, and yet they pioneered all sorts of important things - all-wheel discs, for example). Me, I think they're ugly, but I had to make up for my Lagon-blunder up there. Henceforth, I shall be Captain Oblivious! New toy coming soon...

    [EDIT]The new toy has arrived! This is NOT as obvious as it looks, promise.

    I'm still not expecting it to be very difficult, but I like the car so much I can't resist.[/EDIT]

    I think it’s a Suzuki Cappuccino-based AC / Shelby Cobra replica called Mini Cobra.

    I think a more literal translation is 'Baby Cobra', but yeah, that's the one. I didn't expect it to last, and it didn't - but look at how cute it is!

    I spent about an hour today daydreaming about a 'fun' scale closed-design 1960s styled race series...
