Obscure indie band 'the dentists' Gillingham, 1984. What's the car?

[Sham]

Whatever it is, that nearside inner wing looks dodgy. Don't like it's MoT chances.

I think it's a Lancia Beta coupe going mainly by steering rack and other engine bay details.

I was once (probably about ten years ago) astonished to see that car on the hard shoulder of the M25 anticlockwise. Does it get a day release from the museum?

Or is  there is a replica?

I think there's more than one replica knocking about now.

I think the roof has been jumped on!  Steering rack, servo and suspension turrets make me think Beta.

Isn't that a Bernie, Lepu and isopon creation?

The Renault doesn't have struts.

The sadly (as opposed to smiley) is because in those days if you earned £100 a week you could own and run a Ferrari. Now it costs that to fill your tank.

Yes , there are at least two proper replicas, both fitted with Rover turbines, although one is actually driven by a V8 with the turbine just for show.

This one is powered by a turbine though.

That would rule it out, I guess.
