I thought the RD350 was one without the "bodykit", but that's totally based on assumtion and I don't have any proof to back it up. I assumed that the matchin RD408H search could perhaps mean that it's an updated or kitted out version. (See pic of the car labelled to me as "RD350", but it's without the extra pits as shown in this thread)

As conclusion, it's either or, a Vemac for certain.

EDIT: Ok nevermind, I didn't see the picture names . Still missing the RD in front of the 350 though.

Alright, I'm going absolutely nuts about a car I spotted today which I have NO idea of what it is. Unfortunately the car wasn't at a still stand long enough to allow me to take pictures, but due to traffic lights I got a pretty good look at it. I'll try to describe it and use other pictures for design cues.

The lights were very similar to picture #1's, but then turned more on the side and including the indicator in the pod. The headlights werey firmly placed on the outside corners of a relatively straight nose, with - from memory - one or two vents. It had a gradually inward sloping bumper, nothing sharp and it all fit very well. It had a classic shape, long bonnet (V8 up front) with a spacious two seat interior and a very airy look to the cabin, with no high quarters or spoilers obscuring any view. The front silhouette looked remarkably similar to that of the Alfa Montreal up to the door, with perhaps a slightly lower front bumper. The rear looks almost identical to the rear in picture #3, but instead of the lights being placed vertically they were horizontal.
That's about as well as I can describe it, I really hope someone knows something similar to what I'm talking about 'cause it's tearing at me. Oh and it's not one of the "obvious" cars, I caught a glimpse of the badge and it wasn't anything I've seen before.

Sauc3, based on the description, might it be a Jensen C-V8? It was produced in England from 1962-1966 with a Chrysler V8.

I don't know how I do it either...
And it's a bit frustrating...

What is this car?
I'd say a Lancia (Aurelia?) but I'm not sur at all.

Don't worry about it, at least you're able to help out

I'd say Alvis, not Lancia. But I'm not sure which model as they're too similar for me to tell them apart.

Edit: After a quick search I think it's model TD 21 Mulliner Park Ward Salloon.

Why can't Japanese people label their pictures.

After about 2 hours of searching around oh-so-many different websites, I can only conclude that the yellow cars are from 1997. Unfortunately none of the websites seem to archive the cars, and Honda (which the second yellow vehicle is from) have NO record of the yellow car that I can find. Sorry...

There are obvious design elements of both the Cheetah and Kellison Astra (K4?), and the tail is certainly influenced by Bill Mitchell's Mako Shark of the mid-1960s. The rear deck even looks a little like the Cobra Daytona Coupe. or Iso. Someone was pretty creative with their "plagurisms"

A search of vintage kit car sites turned up some truly awful looking "sports" cars. This looks to be fairly sophisticated, though.
