Default What car is this?
Hi folks

Bit of a Rockford Files fan, I have to admit. In this episode, an Italian car pulls up (and is referred to as such in the dialogue) but I can't for the life of me think of what it is. It's definately from the mid to late 70's if that's any help, though I imagine someone will easily identify it anyway.

Back end looks very Ferrari-esque, sort-of, ish...





Pop-up headlights and god-awful door mirrors!:





Interesting wooden gear knob:




Answers on a Post please....

TIA

Looks like an Esprit to me too. Why was it referred to in the dialogue as an Italian car?

No one in the US would have heard on Lotus.
