That looks like a kit car based on a TR8.

Edit: or a TR7. Either way it's definitely a Triumph judging from the headlight covers and the door handles.

With all the Ford GT40 styling cues, I wonder what possessed them to put a Ferrari sticker on it?

Regardless

But why? I agree. It's a TR7 or TR8 made horribly ugly.

+1 on the TR8

The TR7 is a beautiful car. But, given that the TR8 door stop was ugly to start with, why not?

I don't think it's a TR at all, maybe the headlight buckets from a TR used in a kit car that was likely built on a VW frame or maybe even a Fiero which was used in a lot of lambostein projects, door pulls look Fiero the more I look at it!

PS Friend had a brand new TR7, build quality was awful.

The only difference between the TR7 and the TR8 is that the TR8 has a bump on the hood. For the bigger engine.
