They were original sold as a Dino. The Pininfarina designs are better looking and more pleasing to the eye but personally I prefer the bolder Bertone designs, they have more balls.

I can't tell what the car is but I think its a coincidence of the open engine hatch on the Elise being roughly the same color as the car behind it making for an interesting illusion of a modernized 4 door Gremlin-looking ride (I'm guessing that's what your getting at).

Nice pics, Jim! I'm in love with Astons.

Can someone help me here before I hurt myself? Is this a personalized plate meaning "One Great A(ston) M(artin)" with an extraneous T? Or does the T stand for something? GR+8=Great. GR+8+T=Great T.

I think you nailed it. Did not even notice that it was the hatch of the Lotus.

Thanks
