New car to collection: Just returned from road trip picking it up
Just returned from a road trip picking up a new baby for my collection. I found a immaculate almost museum condition beauty, pampered it's whole entire life and couldn't believe my eyes at the condition of this vehicle. Lots of hours and nice twisties and flat roads to enjoy the new toy on the way home.
Teaser pics, lets see if anyone can guess what it is:
My view for many many many many hours:

I'm gonna guess by the windshield wiper arm, curve of the headlights on the hood, a tiny view of a gauge ring (betting there is a wood plate surrounding it...) and the look of the top of dash that it's a Truimph Spitfire. I could be wrong though because I've never seen one in that color, they are usualy darker green.

I'm leaning towards kev's triumph answer.
BUUUUUT I'm going to guess a creepy panel van with the windows duct taped shut and a "free candy" sign on the side? 1992?

1979 Triumph Spitfire. Wait till you hear the details on this stunning gem. Will start a new thread with all the details.
Excellent attention to detail, you got it 
It's British Racing Green but the clouds in the sky and lighting made the color look different in pic.
Very good guesses.
I knew that angle would throw off a few people to guess Porsche that's why I used it lol
Buahahaha

Fantastic, I'm (obviously) a big fan of those little cars, looking forward to seeing some pics!
