wlaidlaw Posted July 16, 2023 Share #20282 Posted July 16, 2023 Lancia 2000 HF Coupé? Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 16, 2023 Share #20283 Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Like Wilson I also suspect it is a Lancia as there are various things which point in that direction but the headlight & taillight treatment together - not to mention the front wing 3/4 area - are like nothing I can pin down whatsoever. Is this car a regular 'production model' or more of a coach-built limited-run example? Philip. Edited July 16, 2023 by pippy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted July 16, 2023 Share #20285 Posted July 16, 2023 In answer to two conjectures Definitely not Japanese. Yes, it was a production model but the numbers were limited. I'll let the guessing run a bit longer. It's definitely an interesting car! G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted July 16, 2023 Share #20286 Posted July 16, 2023 I originally thought it might be a 1969 Lancia Ghia Marica but some of the details were not quite right. I went and looked at one of those in Milan in 2009 but it was in a very sad state with the floors repairs with flattened biscuit tins, pop riveted together and one of the body sides concave along its length and the other convex, plus they were asking for an absurd €70,000 in that state.

pippy Posted July 17, 2023 Share #20291 Posted July 17, 2023 Nice car, Ramarren, but it would have been nice to have had a few more written clues such as 'No; not a Lancia but you are in the right territory' sort-of-thing so we could have a re-think and try to go down another route to find the solution. A couple of the wider-crop photographs would have been nice to see as well. Also - to repeat what Andreas mentioned a coule of pages ago - your final request for ideas was posted at around 03:00 UK time and, no-one having replied, the reveal photographs at 04:00. I can't speak for any of the other Brits but at that time I'm fast asleep so the last-chance passed me by... Hope all that sounds reasonable? Thanks!

Indeepthought Posted July 17, 2023 Share #20292 Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) If I may say, this is a great thread, probably hundreds off different cars have been identified, I include myself, but surely some of these very rare or only a few thousand made it to the road are far too difficult to even guess or come up with the right answers. For fun, a car considered ‘sporty’ in its era.. 🍻 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!

I'm not an expert at playing this game... sorry. I typically am up and chk msgs at 05:30, and usually shut down around midnight, and I live in California. Since this was an out of cycle, extempore post, I thought it wise to limit it to one day's cycle. If I ever do it again, I'll let it go a two day cycle. As to hints, well, I don't see too many hints in the thread historically.. I tried to give a couple without giving the name away. I might have said,"not a Lancia" but other than saying "It's Italian, it's not a FIAT", I'm not sure what useful hints might have been. The photos are what I have, I was trying to not show any explicit badging, so cropped them to eliminate badging. More than anything else, I hope you enjoyed seeing a little bit of Italian rarity. Any OSCA is a rare gem to see! G 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
