Not Ghia - and no more questions from you until if and when this one reaches the Experts since you're an Expert now!

Quite so.
I'd been trying to find out when they made it but couldn't get anything definitive; I'd decided it must be some time in the 1980s..
Confusingly, they used the same name again for a Prowler-like concept a few years ago.

Here's a picture of this car under construction; a Bollinger proposal drawing of the same model has been puzzled here before, but not the actual mock up made:

When Carnut found his puzzle pic, he PM'd me about whether it was a duplicate. We agreed it was not. My puzzle was Steve Bollinger's drawing of a mid-engine car that was never built. ; Carnut's puzzle was a prototype that was built of a front engine, front wheel drive car that only shared some of the elements of the original sketch.

Un-merged.  ;)
