What's this a proposal for, for 1 point?
Triumph TR7 ?
Looks like a mid engined design like the MG ADO 21

Porsche 914 based Tapiro by Giugiaro/Italdesign?
it looks like 1303 wheels. Is it a VW project?

It's not the Tapiro (pictured below).
I think perhaps you mean the ItalDesign Cheetah, also pictured below so I'll give you a clue: it's not that either!

Not a big one but well-known nevertheless; not an obscure one!

It's going to take at least one, because it's actually overdue for a move to the Experts.
I left it to encourage newbie wingroad to keep trying since he's tried so hard already but I think he's given up now!
So up a notch it goes..
Of course there's nothing to stop wingroad and any Rookie continuing to try on the Experts board, except that it might be there any more for them to do so..!
South American?

Keep trying though!
Odd thought Saab Sonnett?
TVR Tasmin?
AC?
I found this. It's Reliant FW7 from 1969 :yeah:
Yes, indeed, it's the Reliant FW7 prototype.
It pre-dated the Fiat X 1/9 by a number years.
Unfortunately Reliant developed it with their 750 cc from the Regal, but then decided (undoubtedly correctly) that a car looking as sporty as this would never sell with such a puny engine, so it was canned..
I may be wrong but I seem to remember this was a Tom Karen/ Ogle design. Can someone confirm?

Can't find any mention of the name in connection with this, but I would say it's probably quite likely.
Here's an original sketch:
Yup, this one is definitely the work of Tom Karen at Ogle Design. Don't have proof to hand, but I recall this artists impression in an old Ogle corporate brochure from the mid-1970s. If I find it, I will scan it in.
