Ivan Goriup Posted October 17, 2023 Share #20744 Posted October 17, 2023 remarren, so sorry to hear of your misfortune. All the best and here's wishing you a full and rapid recovery. Strongly back indeepthought's recommendation for legal action, and should it turn out the schmuck that hit you was using his phone or texting.....well, in that case all bets should be off and I trust you'll make the putz really suffer. Re the mystery car, not a Zagato, rather, an all-Italian effort lnitiated by one of that country's older & more famous manufacturers involving another carrozzeria just starting out one year before this project was styled and executed.

It might be good for you to watch for indications of other things that might need attention. Sometimes, some other things become more evident a while later. Recover well & recover soon. Best Regards, Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted October 17, 2023 Share #20747 Posted October 17, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you for your concern and advice. In these first two days, I have been concentrating on surviving the soreness and misery. Today I requested the police report (which takes 10+ days to process and deliver to me) which will give me the name, address, etc for the driver of the car that hit me (the police collected it, I was rather busy with the EMT and Ambulance crews...). Tomorrow I'll be looking at the legal aspects of this mess. Ugh, hate this stuff. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the Zagato boded Jaguar XK140 cars and the rear quarter window doesn't look right to me. It also doesn't look like the early Lamborghini 350GT or even the Lamborghini pre-production prototype (I owned a 350GT back in the day... door handles are quite different). Hmm hmm hmmm ... I'm mystified. G Edited October 17, 2023 by ramarren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted October 17, 2023 Share #20751 Posted October 17, 2023 Thanks to all of you! I'm working the post-collision issues as best I can. Only just coming up on the third day so things are still a little rough, but the shoulder doesn't hurt and other bits are slowly healing. Today is time to take off the dressings on my leg and examine what's happening there, shower, etc. Exciting ... LOL! G 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For full disclosure's sake, I will admit that I cloned out the coachbuilder's badge on the lower front fender at the front edge of the driver's door, since I felt that would have made the whole excercise too easy. I am offering an additional crop, this of another detail, directly adjacent & overlapping the crop above, including the 'deleted' carrozzeria's badge of this somewhat unique automobile, but this in black & white, since an unmodified crop contains a color element which, again, would give it's identity away instantly.

stuny Posted October 18, 2023 Share #20759 Posted October 18, 2023 That was quite a clue. How about an ALFA Romeo BAT, early to mid 1950s? I suspect it's the BAT 5. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted October 18, 2023 Share #20760 Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Yes - the 5th design by Scaglione working with Bertone but the first actually built…hence the name : Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica 5…but over to JZG for the full story. A car I would love to see “in the metal” with its siblings 😍 (Sold together as a single lot for only $14.8m in 2020) Edited October 18, 2023 by NigelG 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
