What's the make and model of this car?
in your expert opinion...
NSU Ro80 Gmarmeier shown on Salon de Geneve 1975.
Any front pics in stock?
No pics other than this one I'm afraid. Anyone else?
That a really interesting example! It seems that only this one picture could be found while searching the internet.. Anyone has any details about that particular model?
No! Even the book I have only provides this angle... :(

But this car is a prototype, right? Any ideas what "Gmarmeier" could mean?
Sounds like a German last name, presumably rather from the south. ;D
Know what it is?

I think you deserve a point...
No problem — if you provide a front view of this car! ;)
Whait a moment! That's not the same name I have...and mine is sure...
who will find the right name?

You must be kidding!!!!
Gmarmair? :lmao:
Sort of....it's obviusly the same car, but in my picture the name is written on the wall (that's why I'm sure). It is based on the NSU but it's been mispelled in the previous quiz. You had the chance to find out the correct name.
Exclusively me? :D
Then it also has to be mispelled in the book I have. And in all the sources I know, too
My second guess would be "Gmahrmeier" for some reason
You already had the point because you found the car. In my picture, taken from his stand in a show, the name is written on the wall, that's why I'm pretty sure that's the correct one, and no, it's not that. It's open to all.
Gmarmehier? ;D ;D
I strongly believe it starts with an "G" (logo of the back wheels) Secondly I believe it ends with "....meier"
(A little) strange is the "Gmar" so I (not really!) guess there's a vowel between the first and the second character.
So my last guess would be Gemahrmeier.
Wait! What about Grahmeier?

It's driving me nuts! Gmarmeyer? (would be a new dimension of nit-picking in my opinion..)
Or Gmarmeiner :P
The name is different!
I don't think you are going to find it out in this way!
I looked around and found other sources with the correct name.
Would Gmachmeir fit? :D
:cheer: YYYEEESSS!!!! :cheer:
Quite different, isn't it?
Sorta kinda...
It seems to be the one and only car by Gmachmeir Design?
Dunno...

Indeed different. That particular name I'd never figured out!
But there are positve news: some front pics are available! (http://www.mysmilie.de/midi-smileys/froehlich/1/0012.gif) (http://www.mysmilie.de/)
And some additonal info, too: the car was designed by Austrian Felix Gmachmeir whose company was named "G-Design". (not that bad for an Austrian... ;D )
1975 it was shown in Tokyo and Geneve and later sold to jeweller Cartier. Nothing is known about its whereabouts today.
Great pictures, thank you!
Finally, we can park this in the solved section, again.
Is Viersitzer a part of a model name, too? I mean, as far as I understand it means 'four seater'.
Yes, ans thanks for great pictures of the front end :)
I'd like to know the second word on the wall underneath "Gmachmeir". Maybe it had a certain designation.
I doubt it was called "Viersitzer". (faksta is correct, it simply means four-seater)
As far as I understood, the second word is 'Design', as in one of the files I've got while searching for the name, the company was called Gmachmeir Design (although there it was said to be German).

That would make sense.... :D

Should be merged I guess...
Right. I leave to you specialists the picking of the correct name for the topics title.
Gmachmeir is the correct name like shown on PJ's reply#28
I've just unearthed some more info on Gmachmeir. He was Austrian but worked out of Munich, having previously been employed in Audi's design department. In 1975, just after presenting his Ro80 coupe at Geneva, he was said to be working on a four-seater Lamborghini for launch in 1976, and was working on a new Zele for Zagato.
Thanks! :)
Guess in a few days I'll provide some more infos...
Unfortunately the magazine I received today does not provide any additional infos! >:(
A few more views:
Still searching for the very obscure Gmachmeir BMW. I know only one fuzzy 3/4 rear view of an old card game.

This one yes?...
Yes! But I've never seen a front view of this car. I've found a dead link that should show an old b+w newspaper scan, that's all!
