                Trying to identify a car.  Picture is old and not in good
shape.  Please reply off list.

                Answers so far: 
                Looks like a TR4 with aftermarket front and rear end
treatments... sort of. <g> 
                It looks very Spitfire-ish.  Seems rebodied, but the doors
are definitely spitfire and not Big TR.
                It almost looks like a Falcon Caribbean/Bermuda, but there
is no wing vent window.
                I am not 100 % sure but front end styling has Aston Martin
written all over it.
                The back end suggests one of the Triumph TRS's (the Racing
prototype of the TR4).  However, the front bodywork cries out that it is
most likely a TR4 with massive bodywork done to it!
                At first I thought it was a Berkeley, but I don't think it
is.
                Any good (or at least creative) answers yet? It's got me
stumped. Not to brag, but that's not the easiest thing to do! :-)

                I don't know anything other than the picture...   It was
sent to me by someone trying to identify it.    Any other thoughts?
