Anything to do with Eurostyle?

[SACO]

Yes !
Locked for you !

[Carnut]

Thanks.
It's a Fiat 850 Coupé by Eurostyle.
The front looks different from the 850 I've seen by them before, so either they made 2 different versions or the original was modified.

I don't know if  they made 2 different versions or the original was modified ?

The pic used for this puzzle can be found only in one Encyclopedia (Milleruote) that I know of. I found it a couple of years ago:

Not exactly.. It's also part of the collection of a well known coachbuild forum  . It can be found there since Nov 2016

True. But meant that Saco could have taken it from that coachbuild web site as well.

Merged

I saw that there were two puzzles described as 'Hidalgo' but noted the fronts of the two cars were different: one has a full-width plastic panel over the lights whilst the other has separate plastic panels for each side.  I did see elsewhere that two versions of the car were built, but whether that means the first one was altered a bit to have a different front for its next showing or whether that means two different cars were built I don't know.

Either way I didn't merge the puzzles because of the difference, but of course if they are both the same car in the end then it's fine as anyone looking at the one puzzle will see the different appearance of the cars.
