The 850 Spider was by Bertone, and this one shares a lot with it.
( Doorlock looks a lot like it, placement of the hinges on the decklid, and the placement of the badge on the back of the decklid )

But it looks bigger and front engined.

So I'm guessing its by Bertone as well...

Styling proposal for the Dino, maybe?


I like the front end a lot better than the 850 Spider, btw....

He liked straight lines, but he was not the only one...
Title: Re: 356. by Allemano
Post by: Otto Puzzell on January 27, 2010, 03:31:38 AM
Perhaps a Tom Tjaarda design. He liked straight lines. The headlights are similar to his Isuzu Bellett MX1600 GT design

Something strange happened. I answered before you'd asked.... Some wizard has changed the order...

Anyway, as written before: someone else liked those straight lines as well!

I suppose you won't solve this puzzle by finding the designer first.
Title: Re: 356. by Allemano
Post by: faksta on January 27, 2010, 04:14:34 AM
Count and Graf is the same thing :P

I can't avoid naming Hofmeister, although I believe he worked at BMW as chief designer.
Title: Re: 356. by Allemano
Post by: Allemano on January 27, 2010, 04:21:35 AM
Not Hofmeister, but he and his team worked at a similar project back then.

Title: Re: 356. by Allemano
Post by: guido66 on March 24, 2010, 06:21:14 PM
I really don't have a clue. :D

It looks relatively small, so my guess is that it's based on the code 114 series (1502-2002)
Title: Re: 356. by Allemano
Post by: Allemano on March 24, 2010, 06:25:33 PM
Not exactly... :-\
Title: Re: 356. by Allemano
Post by: guido66 on March 24, 2010, 06:36:16 PM
a bit older? code 115 perhaps (1500, 1800)
Title: Re: 356. by Allemano
Post by: Allemano on March 24, 2010, 06:53:30 PM
This car is not referred to any code, but has a model designation for what it was intended to be.
Not a 1600 or 1800...

Acceptable for a point! :)
Actually my book reports it's a Baur styling model for a 2000 Cabriolet.
