Solved - MJW #222 - Sacha Gordine proposal by Michelotti for Vignale

woodinsight · January 19, 2011, 04:52:45 AM

A proposal that was never built. Which company was behind it?

woodinsight · January 22, 2011, 02:24:04 PM

Probably quite obscure but who knows an Expert may provide the solution

Limo · January 22, 2011, 04:50:38 PM

it's a michelotti design. Maybe for Packard?

woodinsight · January 22, 2011, 09:02:52 PM

Not Packard.

Fiat 1400 B Junior Ghia?

woodinsight · January 23, 2011, 12:00:12 PM

Not that I'm afraid

woodinsight · January 23, 2011, 01:30:10 PM

It is a Michelotti design - I probably didn't make it clear that limo was correct in that regard.

Limo · January 23, 2011, 04:16:35 PM

michelotti doesn't give a clue about the type of car, because he made 1200 designs, almost for every car brand, and all look a bit the same from this period.

woodinsight · January 23, 2011, 05:03:18 PM

The marque is very obscure.......

Limo · January 23, 2011, 05:48:08 PM

In that case it could be Balbo

woodinsight · January 24, 2011, 12:40:24 AM

Not Balbo

woodinsight · January 28, 2011, 05:18:03 AM

Pros?

Djetset · January 28, 2011, 07:36:21 AM

Moretti-related?

woodinsight · January 28, 2011, 11:48:25 AM

Not Moretti related and not Italian

In other words a Michelotti design for (2 words - manufacturer)

Allemano · January 28, 2011, 11:57:20 AM

European?

João · January 28, 2011, 12:04:08 PM

Armstrong-Siddeley??

woodinsight · January 28, 2011, 01:09:07 PM

European but not Armstrong-Siddeley

Djetset · January 28, 2011, 02:42:37 PM

Aston Martin?

woodinsight · January 28, 2011, 03:29:18 PM

Not Aston Martin.
A bit of a clue - this company was involved in racing cars and had never built a road-going car before.

Allemano · January 28, 2011, 03:35:17 PM

Somehow I think I know the story of this sketch, but I can't locate it in my brain... $:-\$

mmmmh... a chassis builder perhaps?

woodinsight · January 28, 2011, 03:38:04 PM

Okay, here's another clue -
The name you're looking for is the name of the constructor - first and second names

Paul Jaray · January 31, 2011, 01:30:44 PM

In the list of Michelotti's cars the only name you can find is Roger Bourdot, who was indeed involved in racing cars and I think he never built a road going car...

It's a slightly similar situation - no road cars were built - the intention was there.
Racing cars to the highest racing series were built......

barrett · February 01, 2011, 09:34:56 AM

Was the marque French?

woodinsight · February 01, 2011, 10:49:23 AM

Yes!
