The blue car appears to be a lotus Elan Plus 2 with the turn signal located next to the pop-headlights. However, the mirror is confusing. Obviously a sports car based on the seats, but the stylized dual under mount, while suggest luxury more than sport, most vehicles using a dual mount mirror attach from the side rather than bottom.
My 11YO says it's a Porsche Carrera GT. But we don't know what the little blue car is still.
I think he is right. I thought it was a Porsche, but I couldn’t find a photo of one with that mirror. Search for that model specifically and sure enough, split-pillar mirror.

Last Catch of the Day
A fisherman brings in his last catch of the day under the beautiful sunset afterglow off the coast of Dunure on Friday night. SW Scotland.

Orange sulphur. I may never get a picture of the white butterflies--I don't know how those even survive since they never seem to stop long enough to eat.
WINNER! Give your son a hi 5! Now tell me what the blue car is. BTW, the blue car is still lurking in the background.

Nope on the blue car, not a Lotus.

From the earlier hint, noted was from same company, would have to be the Porsche 914. During the era of pop-up headlights, most designs maintained a smooth slope with turn signals integrated into or under the bumper. The Porsche and Lotus were one of the few that departed from that design philosophy.

They were down below the boardwalk, so the angle wasn’t that good.
Too late to get the Carrera GT but the blue one is a 914 surely? Needs some air in the tyres!

I would rather get the angle above than below! You can happily snap them from there, then mommy gator won't be snapping you!!
Name that car. There is a clue.

Without reading too much into other posts, I’m gonna say it’s at least Porsche brand.
It’s obviously something in a showroom, possibly museum; those look like “Porsche” style curves; the blue car in the mirror looks like an older Porsche; and that silver paint could be a Porsche silver paint. It’s definitely not American!
Edit: I see the updated post above - sweet! I at least got the brand!
It’s definitely a 914 in the background. (Blue car)
