For a point, who was the coachbuilder, and what was the base car?
The base car was an Austin Healey. After an traffic accident, a new front end has been built up by an Italian...
... bus manufacturer De Simon in Osoppo built up a very nice Italian shaped Austin Healey 100M
Golly, that didn't last long. We obviously have similar reading tastes!
A full and complete answer for another point.
We may have also the same tastes, depending real cars. I have the predecessor of the Djet in my collection...
Thanks for the point
Please , what is this car and by whom , for 1 point ! :)
Merged, because it is a recent repost.
What's this and when was it built, by whom and for whom?:
I was sure we'd had this one already but none of the search criteria I used would come up with the thread..
Now I know it's here:
https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/new-board/djetset-1038/msg519090/#msg519090
However, I have different information from that which solved the puzzle before, so I'm going to leave this puzzle where it is and see if anyone can come up with the answer I have. My answer was actually provided by the one who commissioned the body, so is highly likely to be the correct one.
The information that I'm asking for now is just: who built it and when?
Here's a rear view which doesn't help but looks nice!:
Frua?
Not Frua.
Experts?
I believe it is a 1954 Austin Haeley 100H rebuilt by Cattelan in 1955 after an accident. The owner was David S Ehrich, Jr.
That's about the long and the short of it, yes. Well done.
As I already mentioned it's a repost but the builder credited with it in the previous puzzle is different from Fratelli Cattelan of Udine, who I understand actually rebuilt the car into this style after its accident. The information I have comes from David S. Ehrich Jr., who should know best!
