Sorry no further "full car" shots but you guys can google it. About 360 body kits made from 1964 to 1968 in Berlin. Designer Luigi (Lutz) Colani also made a follow up GT2 with a plexiglass roof and had a big tour through India and Sri Lanka with it, well. The predecessor of the GT was an Abarth Alfa Romeo 1300 Berlinetta which hit a record for GT cars at Nordschleife under 10 minutes. Colani designed everything from houses, cities, furnitures, police uniforms, trucks to cameras (EOS T90, mother of all EOS cameras). Your turn!    Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted August 25, 2022 Share #18286  Posted August 25, 2022 Thank you, Ronald, I have been trying to think where I saw one in the past and remembered there was one which used to be displayed on the 'VW Scene' back in the very late '80s (or, at a push, possibly 1990) when I was busy sourcing OEM parts for my '59 Ragtop and my flatmate was doing the same for his RHD '55 Karmann Convertible. Back then there were some very rare VW-based cars to be seen on the UK show-circuit. The 'highlight' event was always the Peppercorn VW Show which always had some crackers such as Denzels, Hebmullers and one regular attendee used to bring the one-off Stoll coupe. Quite a remarkable selection. There was also a section for what referred to as 'Kit Cars' and whilst the majority were such fare as various Beach Buggys and 'Wizard' convertible conversions there were also more exotic - and bona fide - marques such as Devin, Nova and the Colani. OK; Here's something which is just as sculptural as the Colani in its own way. Just general info; Marque and Model will suffice; Welcome, dear visitor!

It is a Lotus Elise. I had a vague idea that the 'Papaya Orange' might hint, for a short time, towards the McLaren train of thought but No Fooling Some Folks. Only came across this car parked-up last week so have no idea about its genesis but from the badge-work it is Supercharged(!). Having been priviledged to have experienced track days with three different specs of the normally aspirated Elise I can only imagine what a Supercharged version must be like when driven with spirit!

a.j.z Posted August 26, 2022 Share #18292  Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) The grille is pretty unusual. A small Italian maker like Stanguellini? What does the VF-114 mean? Edited August 26, 2022 by a.j.z Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted August 26, 2022 Share #18294  Posted August 26, 2022 Wilson, Andreas and Ronald - the car shown is not an OSCA, a Stanguellini, nor a Cisitalia. In fact, it is not Italian at all. It does have an Italian connection in that the individual who created the body by hand was Italian. Andreas, sorry about the typo - I meant say V-Lux-114. This has all the ear marks, now that the initial series of guesses have been made, of languishing for several days and then posting another clue.....so here's the clue now. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted August 26, 2022 Share #18296  Posted August 26, 2022 I recognise the hub caps. They are off a Daimler SP250 but the car isn't 😀. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted August 26, 2022 Share #18297  Posted August 26, 2022 Viv, if that is your guess to cover the red car, then NO, it's not a Porsche of any kind, nor is it German. Wilson, I'm unable to confirm whether the hubcaps are from a SP250 or not, but offer another crop along with a two-part hint, that the Daimler SP 250 and the original 'donor' car for this one-off special originated in the same country.

Rona!d Posted August 26, 2022 Share #18300 Â Posted August 26, 2022 Ah, this is funny. I could forbid myself to mention the british looking additional front lights (blinkers?). For a moment I even thought it could be an early and special Aston Martin and I even thought there is "some" Jaguar C-Type in the front end, haha. The end looks more Alvis-like.
