It looked a lot like the OTAS/Lombardi 820/850 but I remember it being a soft top.

Buick Reatta? They came as ragtops.

Or perhaps a kit car? Bradley GT, maybe?

I'd guess Triumph GT6 but the seats aren't angled. And yes, it's tiny. So tiny that I bought one and couldn't drive it home, I had to have my GF drive it.

I am thinking it must have been a Fiat 850 Spider.

I am very aware of the GT6. On my short list of "if I ever win the lottery" cars.

Bugeye Sprite, Jaguar D-type, Triumph GT6, MG TD... I like old British sports cars.

Renault Alpine, either the earlier 110, or the later (wedgier) 310?

Even looking at a nice Italian car sitting in a clean room STILL makes my spidey senses tingle knowing how much rust is hiding under the rocker panels/behind that lower body seam under the door.

Corvair?

If it was a Lancia Beta then it is probable still there, just cannot see it as its a pile of rust.

My friend had one, it was fast but is was a pos.

OP...

If you're SURE that it had popup headlights, you might start here:
