(Probably) Solved -PJ205- Amma Dillo 1976

Here is a car.
I have a make and a model (written also on the plate).
This car look terribly familiar, but this make and model are totally obscure to me.
Sorry for the poor quality of the pic.
The point will go to who will find this car or, if the name I have is wrong, to the one who will find, with evidence, the real name of it.

Enjoy

Italian?

Paul Jaray · September 03, 2009, 12:30:08 PM

Don't think so, but I have only make-model-year.

Allemano · September 03, 2009, 12:47:58 PM

Looks British, like some still-born Austin-Rover or Lotus project.

The Clan Crusader looked very much like it, too.

If the Mk3 Cortina in the background is anything to go by, then the period would be about right.

Paul Jaray · September 03, 2009, 01:06:53 PM

I posted it directly in the pro section because I have a make and a model for this that I've never heard before. I can't be of any help with clues unless someone finds out these names, but they can be wrong, and in this case, I'll give a point to the person who will find the actual nature of this car. That girl should be an actress...never heard of her neither!

Looks a lot like a Serenissima Aghema

Paul Jaray · September 03, 2009, 06:02:23 PM

I know that car...I suggest you to remove that link.

I know that this car looks like many other ones, but can't find the right match, and there is that name I have, also written on the plate..
The Serenissima is quite the same but there should be a bulge on the hood, and the rear pillar seems different. There is also a different treatment of the side line... but from my pic I can't tell...

Octavia · September 03, 2009, 06:04:06 PM

So its not that then

and thanks for the advise !

Paul Jaray · September 03, 2009, 06:08:10 PM

So far is the closest I see!

Allemano · September 04, 2009, 02:37:14 AM

Quite the same as the Serenissima Ghia Coupé? (Erroneously named as: Serenissima Agena, Aghema) Not really..
There are some similarities, but that's all methinks...

latham_f2 · September 04, 2009, 03:49:58 AM

There was a copy of the Clan made by McCoy cars.

Looks very similar, but somehow this car looks quite a bit bigger.

Definite styling cues shared between the two though, so I guess this one might have been styled by the same guy, John Frayling?

Arunas · September 04, 2009, 05:31:38 AM

@Paul Jaray: Is that make and model by any known (mentioned in sources, books, etc.) manufacturer or it is completely new even for you?

They are different, even the fron pillar is different, but this car seems similar to many different cars, and this one is, so far, the closest I saw.

Never heard of it.

Allemano · September 04, 2009, 06:34:23 AM

Perfect!

Seems this will be last for a while..
Gives the name some hint of the country where it was made? Or maybe that slick actress?

Paul Jaray · September 04, 2009, 06:54:02 AM

That's a good point...the maker's name, put togheter with the model's name (written on the plate) forms a mispelled word, (to give you an idea, like Reffi and Gerator) and this mispelled word is the same in my language (Italian) or in English. The actress' name is not Italian at all, it can be english, but any search about her, returns to this pic. I'm not even sure she's an actress, but the caption under the pic says: 'Make Model' with 'model's name' and the year. $:-\$

Arunas · September 04, 2009, 07:04:21 AM

No ideas... even where to start..

75america · September 04, 2009, 11:41:37 AM

I guess this is a British car because of the RHD and the AA insurance sign in the background...

Quiller · September 04, 2009, 12:34:01 PM

Reminds me of this:

Paul Jaray · December 01, 2009, 05:59:18 PM

Time to jump into the hole...

Paul Jaray · January 10, 2010, 06:39:32 AM

Giveaway week pt.2
The (what I think is) model name is the italian way for 'Say it!'

Not 'Dicalo'...that is very funny, a shorter version of that.
