Saw this at a local car show this weekend, never seen one before. Very stylish and Italian, any thoughts :)

Difficult to tell from that angle but could be a US version of the Fiat 130 Coupe ...

Isuzu I think, the wing mirrors give it away

Yeah you got it, Isuzu 117 Coupe, I've never seen one before. Quite a good looking thing, proper blend of Italian and Japanese.

There was one in the car encyclopaedia I thumbed to death as a child.

You’re right about the styling - it’s Giugiaro designed. I’ve always really liked them.

Don't know the film but that screen shape looks like an Austin Healey ...

Hmmm, I'm not convinced. All the AH windscreens seem to have a frame piece along the top of the glass and the bonnet bulge doesn't fit with any of the AH variants. I should add I don't know the answer; had me stumped. I was thinking low volume Italian or fibreglass kit body?

Yes, you're right - I should have been paying more attention !

It could be one of the lovely little 'Etceterinis' - looks similar to this Siata (but doesn't have the instrument 'binnacle') :
