1996 Opel Sintra MPV design proposal?
Title: Re: grob 2013.05.03 (02)
Post by: wingroad on May 15, 2013, 03:01:33 PM
As the Sintra was American is it anything to do with the Astra based GMB1650 project

Post by: grobmotorix on May 15, 2013, 05:00:04 PM
I only have a name/designation.

And this was not mentioned so far.

I do not have any other information about it.

The wheels seem to be from a Vectra, but could it be a Zafira prototype?
Title: Re: grob 2013.05.03 (02)
Post by: grobmotorix on June 03, 2013, 01:42:40 PM
I´m quite sure this was bigger than a Zafira.
And I agree that mit was most probably based upon a Vectra.

But as I said, it had a specific name/designation.
Title: Re: grob 2013.05.03 (02)
Post by: Djetset on June 03, 2013, 01:48:17 PM
Opel CaraVan?
Title: Re: grob 2013.05.03 (02)
Post by: grobmotorix on June 03, 2013, 01:55:17 PM
No.

BIG HINT:

It were only three letters, an abbreviation, obviously.

So it´s an Opel xxx concept car.

ItalDesign Giugiaro?  It looks like his late 80s/early 90s period..
Title: Re: grob 2013.05.03 (02)
Post by: grobmotorix on June 03, 2013, 02:23:11 PM
I´m quite sure it is an Opel in-house design.
Title: Re: grob 2013.05.03 (02)
Post by: wingroad on June 03, 2013, 02:39:13 PM
Is it by Gordon Brown
Title: Re: grob 2013.05.03 (02)
Post by: Djetset on June 03, 2013, 02:52:20 PM
Opel MPV?

If it was Gordon Brown, he was seemingly better at designing Opels than he was at attempting to run the British economy!  :P
Title: Re: grob 2013.05.03 (02)
Post by: grobmotorix on June 03, 2013, 03:58:39 PM
I do not have any information about a specific designer.

I´ve had the opportunity to buy some projector foils that stem from Opel´s design department for internal design presentations.

I only have the name - and it is not MPV.

Djetset, if I remember rightly Gordon Brown, the American Opel Design head not the grinning ex-Prime Minister, Tragically died falling of cliffs high above the Rhine

Sorry Wingroad, the Gordon Brown joke was in rather poor taste!

Anyway, is this another Opel RAK?

WHAM!

That´s it!

Maybe it stood for something like Flexible Fuel Vehicle or Flexible Family Vehicle.

Who knows...

Post by: grobmotorix on June 04, 2013, 03:57:25 PM
I have some more and I might ask for the one or the other.
The problem is, that some photos don´t show any names or text.

So I can´t tell anything about them, too.

Dear kitaharo,
sorry for my belated reply, but I was moving to a new town so I just now found the time to answer.

I can´t tell you anything more about it than the fact, that I was able to buy those projector pictures at a specific Opel swap market near the factory in Rüsselsheim.

Here you are a better res version of the SUV-photo:
