The orange one?

sonza68 · 05-07-2008, 01:15 PM

I want to say it's a Gillet Vertigo.

AnsisK · 05-07-2008, 01:15 PM

Gillet Vertigo of some sort.

edit - tree'd

Conan · 05-07-2008, 01:30 PM

specifically a 2002 Vertigo.

Bavarian Motorist · 05-07-2008, 01:32 PM

My first thought was Gillet too.

Jon J · 05-07-2008, 01:34 PM

It looks like an elise that spent too much time in the sun and melted.

Except it's front-engined

John Stimson · 05-07-2008, 01:45 PM

What does drive train configuration have to do with "looks like"?

I think the front end looks like a guppy.

Oh wait, are guppies front or mid engined?

MHElise · 05-07-2008, 02:19 PM

I would have guessed Gillet as well.

Looks like a Viper RT/10 with a body kit to me.

Gillet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Had to look them up. Pretty rare. I would take the Jag in the front of the pic.

LARRY · 05-07-2008, 02:39 PM

Hey there Doug!

Nice to meet you and your lady the other day!

And see your Lotus with the teeth!

Yes, that Jaguar is incredible!

BOB1984 · 05-07-2008, 02:48 PM

Thanks guys

What if an Elise had sex with a Seven? = Vertigo?

Although the Jag is pretty enticing, it would be hard to say no to that V8 Virage back there. Definitely would have to sit down and think about it.

those jag wheels are hideous

Because it "looks like" it's front engined, not like it's mid-engined.

Minnis · 05-08-2008, 01:46 PM

looks as hideous as some of those old Marcos

And if you melted an Elise and stretched out the nose like silly putty, it would look like it might be front engined too.
