Paul Jaray · March 23, 2009, 05:24:41 PM

The name is different!
I don't think you are going to find it out in this way!

Paul Jaray · March 23, 2009, 05:31:16 PM

I looked around and found other sources with the correct name.

faksta · March 23, 2009, 05:35:00 PM

Would Gmachmeir fit?

Paul Jaray · March 23, 2009, 05:41:54 PM

YYYEEESSS!!!!

Quite different, isn't it?

faksta · March 23, 2009, 05:45:21 PM

Sorta kinda...
It seems to be the one and only car by Gmachmeir Design?

Paul Jaray · March 23, 2009, 05:48:40 PM

Dunno...

Indeed different. That particular name I'd never figured out!
But there are positve news: some front pics are available!

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...

)
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

Allemano · March 24, 2009, 07:04:34 AM

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)

faksta · March 24, 2009, 07:31:27 AM

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....

Should be merged I guess...

Right. I leave to you specialists the picking of the correct name for the topics title.

Allemano · June 01, 2009, 08:38:14 AM

Gmachmeir is the correct name like shown on PJ's reply#28

Quiller · November 13, 2009, 05:38:26 PM

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.

Allemano · November 14, 2009, 05:22:20 AM

Thanks!

Guess in a few days I'll provide some more infos...

Allemano · November 17, 2009, 07:24:12 AM

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?...

Allemano · September 17, 2017, 10:16:57 AM

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!
