For one point, know which car stylist sketched this, and for what car marque?
Where have all the Rookies gone..?
It's a Trevor Fiore Elva proposal.
Spot on. A great looking car; just a shame it was never made. You have the point.

I actually had this original picture in my hand last year!
Some Fiore pictures were being auctioned at H&H Buxton last summer and I was there to bid for them.
I didn't get any of the ones I really wanted as they went for much more than expected, but I did at least come home with one original!
The pictures are much bigger than you might imagine; this one is probably nearly a metre wide!
I wanted to get up to that auction to try and bid on a few Fiore items too as I was always a fan of his, but sadly I didn't make it. I was fortunate enough to work with him very briefly in the late 1980s on a stillborn sportscar project, and he was a very nice chap with huge design talent, that sadly has gone largely unrecognised.
Which one of his sketches did you manage to buy? I guess it must look great over your fire place!

It's a proposal for a 4WD Lancia.
So far it's still in my loft as I fear if it's put on display it could well fade..
But it's great to have an original piece of his work.
The pictures I wanted were all bought by the same guy in Switzerland, and he has promised me top-quality copies. I'm still waiting for them but am in regular contact with him so am hopeful they will turn up one day!
A Fiore proposal for a 4WD Lancia sounds most intriguing. Perhaps when you're next up in your loft you can take a photo of the design and put it up as a Puzzle. I'd love to see it.
