Hope this doesn't upset Otto.
Cocky as I am I simply copied his idea. So I do apologize in advance.

Who made this drawing for which company and for what model?

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 01:45:53 PM

Paul Braq for BMW?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 01:47:35 PM

Nope!

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 01:56:16 PM

Ercole Spada?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 01:56:36 PM

I give you a second view:

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 01:57:33 PM

not E. Spada!

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 01:59:18 PM

Is it a proposal for an Austin?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 02:01:11 PM

No, I'd suspected you've seen that car before...

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 02:18:01 PM

Is He Italian, like Paolo Martin?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 02:19:14 PM

He's from Italy, but he isn't Paolo Martin.

I'm still wondering that this car doesn't look familar to you..

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 02:21:02 PM

~~Fiore?~~ He's british...Michelotti?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 02:25:46 PM

Bingo! for the first part!

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 02:26:25 PM

Michelotti for Triumph?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 02:27:43 PM

Not Triumph.

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 02:29:56 PM

Is it a british brand?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 02:30:56 PM

Nyet!

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 02:35:17 PM

Italian? Reminds the AR Goccia...

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 02:37:20 PM

neither Italian...

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 02:39:35 PM

German?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 02:44:51 PM

The make isn't German, but the manufacturer is.

Interisting that most of the internet sources provide wrong facts concerning the car designer.
Even more interisting/confusing that the final car was from a different brand, but from the same manufacturer..

DynaMike · July 11, 2009, 02:45:52 PM

?? Ford Capri ??

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 02:50:58 PM

Not Ford...

BTW: I've edited my last post

Paul Jaray · July 11, 2009, 03:17:04 PM

So, the make is not from UK, Italy or Germany, but the manufacturer is German...but the final model was made for another brand of the same manufacturer.
Is it a French make?

Allemano · July 11, 2009, 03:32:51 PM

No, it's not French.
Would you like to see the final car or at least a cropped image?
But note that it's not the car/make that I'm actually after...

DynaMike · July 11, 2009, 03:36:49 PM

In 1965 Karmann built a car on a VW Beetle base, that looked pretty much alike... It was designed by Hans A. Muth....
