Reasonably so, although no Harris Mann or Peter Stevens (so you can drop those two from your list!).

Yes !! So, now locked to you to name the car.

Guess it's featured in his apparently interisting book I just discovered today. It will take a while till I have it though...

I'm just guessing now: could it be a sketch for the Bugatti EB110?
Title: Re: Djetset 848
Post by: Allemano on November 10, 2017, 08:31:33 AM
Update: this car is indeed featured in Winterbottom's book and it's called 'Phipps sportscar project' with no further info.

It is indeed the Phipps Sports Car Project, as briefly covered in the interesting new Oliver Winterbottom book.  Another point to you.
