What's the make and model designation of this car? Guess correctly and one puzzle point will be awarded

Quiller · May 04, 2009, 05:07:35 PM

Know it?

Time for the pros to shine

Maybe a long shot, but....something SAAB related?

Quiller · May 19, 2009, 03:41:08 PM

Not Saab ...

The rear end is Chrysler-ish. Maybe a Cherokee prototype?

Allemano · May 20, 2009, 03:23:07 AM

It somehow looks like a 'professional' proposal, neither customized nor home-built or kit car.
Made by one of the major companies?

Quiller · May 20, 2009, 04:56:53 AM

It's not Chrysler, nor indeed any of the big companies.

Its designer had a hand in at least one well-known sports car

That makes it a lot easier to find....

This one is quite obscure!

I'm playing my cards close to my chest here as I know exactly where it was made, but if I reveal that someone else might slide in and say who it was made by, which is bit I can't find. Curses!!

On a brighter note, I love you're new logo Allemano. It looks like something you'd find on the side fender of a mystery 1950s Abarth 750 that could have been built by Boano, or perhaps Vitto!

You're leading us on a merry Saint Vitus' dance!

AutoPuzzles is like a small puppy that you have to keep an eye on at all times otherwise things move. This is a good example. I could'nt find this one, an now here it is again, ready to be put out its misery!

This is the one-off prototype for a Middle East Project car by Robin Stables (of Bohanna Stables fame; Nymph, Diablo, etc.), made in Cornwall, after he moved from High Wycombe.

His business partner Peter Bohanna left car design completely to become a water softner engineer, and now lives in Marlow, Bucks, about 6 doors away from my mother!

Very interisting! More pics and infos are highly appreciated!

Quiller · August 17, 2009, 11:30:30 AM

Correct! Sadly no other pics are available though a running prototype was built

kitaharo · June 16, 2021, 04:32:37 AM
