Car guessing game

Where I normally study while at school I have a view over a parking lot in which students are dropped off. I look over and the there is this grey older sports car with the entire half of the car lifted up to let out the passenger. I have not the faintest idea as to what it could be but would like to know.

Here is what I can say:

It does not have lambo doors or gullwings, but basically the top half of the car is one billet piece and lifts up, so it really could be considered a “1 door”

Late 80’s early 90’s look

Gas cap on the hood

If I had to guess it would be mid engine, but am unsure

Does anytone know what this is?!

mini cooper

edit: mini cooper S

I bet a picture would be worth a thousand words

IT’S A GOD DAMN DELOREAN! :fry:

Seriously??? Haven’t you watched Back to the Future???

Delorean

I knew that by the first clue!

NOOO, NOT a Delorean!!!

Let me clarify, A delorean has gullwing doors. This had no doors persay as both doors and the roof were one large piece which lifted up to let people in/out

sounds like a spaceship then. :tinfoilhat:

HOLY SHIT YOU’RE IN THE FUTURE

edit: ABORT!

edit2: how do you make a thread like this without a picture…

I had no camera! I just looked out the window and saw it and assumed somewhere in this vast field of car knowledge someone would know of a vehicle that used a billet piece for the doors/roof that lifed up like that.

cell phone?!

I think army tanks only have one door…

:lol:

While I do have a picture taking cellphone, by the time I grabbed it, the dude had already pulled away. Why is this so hard to do without a picture? Does no one know of a model that had door(s) which opened in such a manner? Or shall we just rule it off as a kit car

The only car that I can find on google or even think of which would be “aluminum looking” and “gas cap on the hood” would be a delorean.

Perhaps someone designed and built a one-off car? Or you were mistaken and up too high, looking down on a delorean, confused because you need a new eye exam?

Can you draw a mock up of what “entire half of the car lifted up” looks like in MSPaint or something?
