My favorite TVR. Saw one in London back in 2003 in the color shift paint.

First thought is a Lotus 7, but the nose shape seems wrong.

Donkervoort is the only other that comes close to a Lotus/Caterham front end.

Just cheated in order to identify it. Shoulda known it was Japanese if mrmako posted it.

Interesting, never would've guessed a Mitsuoka. Car just seems like a modified Caterham

Dammit.....

Mitsuoka Zero One. They take the underpinnings of other cars to create theirs. The Mazda Miata is the basis for this one.

Would be interesting to see the Zero One & a Caterham side by side with the skin removed.
