Do you know the story of this car?

Allemano · February 14, 2009, 07:32:08 AM

Maybe the better educated know...

jotage21 · February 14, 2009, 06:01:46 PM

Brazilian? The floor looks like a Rio de Janeiro sidewalk.

Allemano · February 15, 2009, 06:59:25 AM

Not Brazilian at all!

Allemano · February 23, 2009, 12:56:14 PM

I'm curious of what the Pros will say!

A humble expert thinks it's a project made to ~~earn some money on~~ revive a Bizzarini name. But it's just for a first glance, as I can't provide any further info. It also looks like a defunct mock-up to me.

Allemano · February 23, 2009, 01:35:41 PM

Yes, some styling elements are indeed similar to Bizzarini cars, but unfortunately there isn't any connection

Total shot in the dark here: Kellison related?

Paul Jaray · February 24, 2009, 05:29:34 PM

I think I saw this car before, probably in a bigger version, with other cars from the same (japanese?) design-house. Or I'm just confusing with a Felber picture...

Allemano · February 25, 2009, 12:37:02 AM

All guesses have been completely wrong so far!

I know the Felber picture you've meant. It shows the whole model range and the entrepreneur in the center.
It hasn't anything to do with Felber, Kellison or any Japanese company. It's more recent as it looks and contains a very interisting background story (IMHO!)

I'd faster say it was a Portuguese sidewalk...But that's not a Portuguese project. No idea what it is but still gorgeous!

Indeed, this kind of sidewalk is called here in Brazil as "Portuguese Mosaic"

Nobody has even asked if it's European?

Allemano · February 28, 2009, 11:20:28 AM

It's European.

Arunas · February 28, 2009, 11:46:58 AM

Italian?

Allemano · February 28, 2009, 12:00:34 PM

Si!

Arunas · February 28, 2009, 12:32:48 PM

Self-buit one-off (i,e. not made by any manufacturer) ?

Allemano · February 28, 2009, 01:53:14 PM

It's indeed an one-off, but self-built? I would say No! (not in the sense you've meant I suppose)
There are famous people involved...

Arunas · February 28, 2009, 02:21:05 PM

No connection to Bizzarrini... Hmmm.. Iso maybe?

Allemano · February 28, 2009, 03:39:43 PM

Not one of those!

Joao Gois · March 03, 2009, 12:59:03 PM

Any known builder or coachbuilder involved?

Allemano · March 03, 2009, 04:03:41 PM

"Coachbuilder" is not the right term in this case!

Quiller · March 04, 2009, 12:05:20 PM

As far as I understand, this is a mock-up made in 2008 based on drawings made by Giorgetto Giugiaro back in October 1964 for a mid-engined car. My understanding is that these drawings WERE originally made for Bizzarrini.
