Moved up.

He appears to be upset with the theft of his steering wheel.

No, I think it's because he can't see where he's going since someone nicked his eyes..

Allemano · April 29, 2011, 04:17:27 AM

Pro's!

Wendax · April 29, 2011, 04:19:08 AM

Is it not a car at all anymore, but a piece of furniture?

Allemano · April 29, 2011, 04:19:42 AM

No.

guido66 · April 29, 2011, 04:18:58 PM

Made for a movie?

Allemano · April 30, 2011, 03:47:49 AM

Not that I know of.

guido66 · April 30, 2011, 04:37:09 AM

Amphibious?

Otto Puzzell · April 30, 2011, 04:38:37 AM

From Spain?

Not from Spain.

Otto Puzzell · April 30, 2011, 05:05:28 AM

South American?

Allemano · April 30, 2011, 05:14:07 AM

No.
I think the owner's country is written on the plate. More important is where it was built and the name of the project.

Otto Puzzell · April 30, 2011, 05:32:32 AM

Well, it's not like you to leave the obvious exposed. Remember the cars with identical taillights that couln't be seen in the pictures presented?

So, I was looking (incorrectly) at the many other places with the same name.

Based on a competition vehicle?

Oh, my weak memory...

Unfortunately my source reveals nothing about a based vehicle at all.. $:-\$

Can it fly?

Allemano · April 30, 2011, 07:16:29 AM

No, it can't even drive...

Otto Puzzell · April 30, 2011, 07:35:27 AM

Is the rear half of the car missing?

Allemano · April 30, 2011, 07:50:53 AM

Not the rear half, but something quite essential..

Otto Puzzell · April 30, 2011, 08:09:40 AM

The automotive bits - drivetrain and suspension?

I guess it isn't equipped with these parts as well...

I don't know if it was ever completed.
However its badged with the brand name and coachbuilder — which I was most surprised.

Paul Jaray · April 30, 2011, 08:30:20 AM

wow.
It screams Bertone (or Gandini if you prefer...) but it can't be...
