I was driving along when I saw the car in the attached photo. I didn’t get a chance to do much other than snap a quick pic with my phone and i’ve been unable to identify the logo (but it resembles a vauxhall emblem). ---

yeah, not bad for €36,000. funny thing is my first reaction was that it was a lotus (i was sort of right), and even wierder that i couldn’t find it, especially since i zeroed in on vauxhall. oh well… thanks for the info guys ---
