What car badge has a single upside down "v"?
Greg
I saw a nice looking sports car the other day - I didn't recognise it. The
emblem is a single upside down "v",
assuming that was in fact the make of the car, and not some other marking.
Anyone know what make this is?
It looked like it was probably from the 80s era.
Thanks,
Greg.

If it was two of them, one on top of the other, Citroen.

Yes, the Acura is the closest so far, although I haven't yet found any Acura
photos that resemble the car I saw.
I only saw it from behind, and I suppose it resembled an MG-F a bit:

(the lights did not taper at the top like the MG though), but the car I saw
was a bit wider than the MG. The tyres were also quite wide. Oh well.
Thanks everyone.
Greg.

This reminds me of a conversation i had with a non-car friend who was
telling me about a car he was buying to "restore" , had been sitting in a
paddock for many years but was a "classic" with " sloping rear with Porsche
type lights and guards front end but with 4 doors" ..Had me intrigued as it
only cost him $200 from a "friend". Anyone guess what it was with that
description ???

Could it have been a second hand import from Japan? Heaps of Japanese
market cars have badges that represent the car rather than the maker, eg.
the C with * * * across the top is the Corolla badge.

If it was spotted in Australia, it was either a grey-market import from
Japan or someone decided to import the badge from the USA.
Hint: it was Honda's answer to Mazda's Eunos and Toyota's Lexus.
