This looks to me like a Tiffany. Very similar to a Zimmer but with some slightly different details.

I think choppertrainee has it . . . Looks like one of the 1992 Destiny Classic LX coupes. They built about 50 of them on new 1991 Mustang basics.  No accounting for taste, or the lack of it.

Almost identical?
If you can spot any differences you've got better eyes than I have!  It's even got the same badges in the same place on that badge bar..  This looks to me like the same car!

A Destiny Classic Coupe isn't a convertible.  ;)

Sorry! Is it allowed to post a guess, and if the original poster says it is incorrect, make another guess? Or is it just one guess per car total?

Post by: Carnut on September 11, 2013, 12:05:20 PM
It's just one guess at a time until the guess has been answered by the puzzler.
If all puzzlers were limited to only one guess per car hardly any puzzles would ever get solved!

Moving this one to the Pro's for a week to see if they can solve it; if not it's going to the Black Hole..

If you can send me some proof you're right I'll give you a point and move this to Solved.

OK.  You can still solve it even if it's in the Black Hole - except you'll get double points for that!
So I'll move it.

Egli, from Switzerland

"Generalimporteur für diese Fahrzeuge in Europa war der Händler Egli aus der Schweiz. Während die Wagen in den Staaten ab $ 32.990 kosteten, konnte man sie bei Egli ab 174.600 DM haben."

Egli was just an importer of these cars to Europe. The cars were known as CMC (Classic Motor Carriage) and were never rebadged as Egli.

OK, but Classic Motor Carriage was tried in Reply #4 and was deemed incorrect...
However, see also my Reply #11 regarding the "Tiffany by Classic Motor Carriages" which was also deemed incorrect, in which I said I reckon the photo posted of one of those was in fact the very same car as the puzzle photo, but it cut no ice...

Egli is more famous by their fantastic motorcycles. I´m not a motorbike expert, but if I´m not wrong, they produced the speediest motorcycles in the world at some time.
