It's a Lotus Eclat if my memory is still working correctly.

I'd say your memory was on the right line Gibbo but at the wrong station!

That's often the case nowadays Mick.

With no further offers so far here are clues 3 & 4

While I thought I recognised the gravel before I was incorrect. ( but a reasonable unlikely coincidence none the less)

For a second attempt, I think I have the right gravel, and the right buildings and doors, and I think Gibbo's yoga position is correct just needs a different model

That sounds to me like you have nailed it this time Neil, thereby proving your right to be a member of the club named after the car. I'll leave it another couple of hours before the big reveal!!

So for all you hundreds that haven't cracked it, here is the machine:

Lotus Elite 501

My first effort with the incorrectly identified gravel was a Ferrari 308 GT4 as for sale at Anglia Car Auctions, who typically photograph their lots in a gravel lay-by.

That looks about right Neil, I had a few 'Home Bargains' plants in that patch last year , looks like a lone survivor.

A quick evening pastime: Name that car!! I will be sprinkling other pictures of this car around the threads so can you name it before it gets revealed somewhere?

Here's one I spotted yesterday - or rather, my bike video did!

A bit rare I believe.... Number plate deliberately obscured else it would be too easy otherwise...

Looks awesome in yellow

The video soundtrack nicely catches my rather loud and enthusiastic appreciation of this car My riding companion then told me her dream car is a Daimler Dart. What a girl!
