stuny Posted April 15, 2011 Share #903 Posted April 15, 2011 Rona|d - What ever it is it's a remarkably clean example, probably on display indoors. The conventional seven inch sealed beam single headlamp suggests this is before the adoption of more advanced and specailly shaped headlights, and the clean but relatively lightweight bumper suggests pre-5 MPH bumper laws, at least for cars exported to the US. Probably European, but maybe Japanese. I suspect I'll get no further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buranca Posted April 15, 2011 Share #904 Posted April 15, 2011 Tough! First glance: Early Fiat 124ish -but the break over line on the fender is wrong -almost Z like. It also looks more Ghia influenced than Pininfarina... I have no idea! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted April 15, 2011 Share #906 Posted April 15, 2011 I have no idea! Jeff, THAT I want to read :D:D @ all: No FIAT, no Japanese. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 15, 2011 Share #907 Posted April 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just noticed that the bumper seems to be painted in body color, which should slightly aid narrowing it down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 15, 2011 Share #908 Posted April 15, 2011 I just noticed that the bumper seems to be painted in body color, which should slightly aid narrowing it down. Stu, maybe, maybe not. I remember photos with chrome bumpers too. To help you guys, here some specs: around 100hp fired that car up to 190 km/h, very good roadability that time.

luigi bertolotti Posted April 16, 2011 Share #909 Posted April 16, 2011 I'd say is French... some Renault (or Simca ?) sport version, but the specs you gave above aren't so fit, I think... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted April 16, 2011 Share #910 Posted April 16, 2011 A TVR? Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 16, 2011 Share #911 Posted April 16, 2011 I doubt it's French. French design in so many things is quite lovely, but rarely so in their autos. Notable exceptions to this are Pininfarina (Italian) bodied Peugots or specail purpose cars like the Djet Deutsch Bonnet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 17, 2011 Share #912 Posted April 17, 2011 No french, no TVR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted April 17, 2011 Share #913 Posted April 17, 2011 Could it be a Glas ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 18, 2011 Share #914 Posted April 18, 2011 Could it be a Glas ? No Glas, but you are on a good trace with it's origin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 18, 2011 Share #915 Posted April 18, 2011 Damn! Your reply to Luigi about the Glas reminded me of a "baby Ferrari" of the era (and not the FIAT Dino), but I cannot recall the car's name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 18, 2011 Share #916 Posted April 18, 2011 OK, it´s time for a second shot. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Ealier I mentioned a good roadability, but the opinions differ from good to worse. Let´s say for a sportscar driver it may have performed quit well, but housewives may have had some problems at high speed curves - I think none of them ever drove it. That was one of the reasons that car had been replaced by another model sooner than anyone involved thought. It´s sister model was and still is a great success.

FinnPirat Posted April 18, 2011 Share #917 Posted April 18, 2011 maybe a "Jensen Interceptor" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timd. Posted April 18, 2011 Share #918 Posted April 18, 2011 engine in the back? a cousin of the prinz, maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 18, 2011 Share #919 Posted April 18, 2011 maybe a "Jensen Interceptor" I must agree, it has some VERY FEW design details reminding me of british small series cars, but nothing british here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 18, 2011 Share #920 Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) engine in the back? a cousin of the prinz, maybe? No cousin of a Prinz (maybe around dozens of corners we don´t know). No real rear engine, also no front engine. And that makes it so interesting and dangerous for housewives (who again never drove one, I assume) Another hint: The engine was under the rear seats, slightly in front of the rear axle. It was planned as a base model for a two door, four door, roadster, coupe and mini van version. Only the two door (maybe also a few four doors) were built.
