Many pictures of many baits.

Kinja wasn't impressed, it seems. Will check back when they work again. :D

Some worked by enlarging, the others work when you change the link to original.gif etc.
Proof: There an Eclipse something concept that looked really weird.

OK, it appears that only the GIFs aren't showing up now.
Eclipse concept? Do you mean the ASL Garaiya?

If that's the car with the awkward side windows, then yes .

Aww, I love the Garaiya! It uses an SR20 engine with carburettors from a racing motorbike, because its makers prefer carb'd engines. Built in Norfolk by ex-Lotus guys (briefly, until it mysteriously disappeared from production) and on the same platform as the Tommy Kaira ZZ, it weighs 800kg and has about 200 horsepower, so it'll keep a pre-V6 Exige honest. It also looks like a pint-sized supercar, and I believe those fixed windows give you a greater sensation of speed and let you spot the apexes and stuff.

Looks like the windows can also be lowered, so that's a plus for a DD. Rear lights look like they're identical with those on the Alfa 147 ... not bad, though.
On a somewhat related note, I never found the original Elise/Exige quite so nice to look at, too. Doesn't matter much, though, when you love the way something drives. :)

If you look at the doors, there's nowhere for the windows to go. I think it has a/c though, as a compensation. Also those are actual 147 tail lights, thus carrying on a proud tradition of British-made* sports cars using tail lights from other cars!
*It is Japanese, but yeah, made in Norfolk and shipped over.

Good point ... if they were curved, it would be possible, but this way it'll hardly open.
Hey, not even the XJ220 got its own lights. ;)

I'm pretty sure the McLaren F1 got its taillights from a coach!
