A design that never made it off the paper. Who drew this car, and what was it supposed to be?

He did log in yesterday but regrettably hasn't answered any of the replies to his puzzles, of which there are at least 10.
I've PM'd him to see if I can induce him to reply but unfortunately he hasn't answered. He may be away from his computer.

Jeez, Barrett's tag line: "Don't delete me" is beginning to make much sense

Yes, a Doug Thorpe scheme for a 3000 Coupe.
