That’s Hammond’s Capri from The Grand Tour
I think the other cars behind it are from the show too (one might be from the Top Gear days)

Oooh, so it is. Completely forgot about that episode.

Saw this on the M1 near Sheffield earlier
Looked and smelled genuine (albeit it was rhd), a quick google shows it to be a replica
Looked good though and had just the right amount of patina on it

Several
If I remember rightly, the genuine cars were predominately RHD weren't they?

so they were.
Apparently it was done to place the driver on the inside of the corner at Le Mans (which had predominantly right hand corners back then).
Learn something new everyday. I thought they'd mostly be LHD.

There used to be a place on the Team Valley in Gateshead that built replicas, not sure if it’s still there. I’d often see one plonked on 2 shopping trolleys to dry after a hose down on my walk to the sandwich hut 🤣
Edit: now long gone. There’s one outside on google maps in 2008. Shows how long it’s been since I last went past that way!

the one I saw was a MDA version. I'm sure they were from Devon.
I remember really being into kit cars when I was about 14/15. So glad I grew out of it, I'd probably be a 50 year old virgin with a collection of s**t half built cars if I hadn't.

Yeah, I don’t think they manufactured them but they did build a good few.
I’d still like to do a kit car but would definitely end up like that 🤣. I quite fancy building a Ultimate RS which would no doubt be a total disaster 😂
The cars were designed and built here in the south of England. I remember reading back in the day that the M1 was used for overnight 'long run' testing !

Pretty sure Jaguar used to do the same with the D type.

It’s funny how these and cobras are really the only acceptable replicas. Anything else is utter shite.
