Please respond below if you know the make and model designation of this car. I do know nothing about it except a (possible

) name.
Any other infos are highly appreciated.

Gmachmeir Spezial, a car from Austria. I think based on the NSU RO80

Allemano · October 22, 2010, 07:06:40 PM

That's right! At least that's what I have as well!
Do you think there's a way to prove this...?

We had a Gmachmeir NSU before which looks so different!

Experts? Pro's?

I've added one point to Limo's account, but leave it open for all to get me more infos — for an extra point of course!

The only thing i know is that this picture was used in an austrian auto-quartett game, in a series called Style Studies...

Well, that's my source...

BTW: Gmachmeir wasn't/isn't Austrian, but Bavarian (from Munich)

Somewhere on the internet i looked up (much earlier) the name Gmachmeir in a telephone connection database.
There seems to be one telephone connection in Germany related to the name Gmachmeier...

I do have this playing card game, too.
And I think it is the Gmachmeir (without the second "e") BMW Coupé with the inline 6 BMW engine used in the E3 limos and the Baur CS-Coupés. It mighty be based on the latter one.

The 1975 Gmachmeir NSU is a totally different car, I´m sure.

Thank you!

The rear light are seemingly from the early BMW 5-series.

Is it plush or mold on the windows?

grobmotorix · October 24, 2010, 08:37:05 AM

Yes it seems to be deep pale green plush - ridiculously bad taste stuff like it was used in many of those wacky 1970´s van pimpmobiles...

Allemano · October 24, 2010, 08:40:51 AM

I'm curious what it looks like from the opposite angle... the rear end seems to be completely made of glass — (similar to L. Espada & M. Khamsin)

Quote... the rear end seems to be completely made of glass

Which is quite senseless, because it is completly filled with this wacky interiour textiles

Allemano · October 24, 2010, 12:29:11 PM

BTW: we had the Gmachmeir NSU before, which is a quite pretty car.

I think I give grob the point and declare it as "solved".
Maybe someone comes with more infos later.

Today, after a long time, I unexpectedly stumbled upon an article in the February issue of Austro Classic featuring Felix Gmachmeir. The car is mentioned, but unfortunately without a name. Apparently, it was Gmachmeir's first car project.

Somehow the car on the pics looks so familiar
