Didn't get a pic as it passed me by today.

Little Italian looking number, kind of resembled a Ferrari 250.

Only identifying feature I noticed was dual exhaust pipes side by side in the center of the rear.

Any ideas?

Too square.

This was rounded off in the rear with no trunk to speak of and a short nose - didn't get a good enough look at the headlights.

Not a convertible.

Bright red.

How old are you talking?

An XKE Coupe? I’ve seen one in BR.
