it is funny, but the shape of the rear deck makes me tink of Maserati. How about a little hint?

Well he's got me completely stumped. This is what I can get from the picture:

- RHD and not Japanese. This means likely British, possibly Australian.
- Very compact. Note that the rear edge of the door appears to form part of the rear wheel opening.
- Fiberglass bodywork. Note the absence of sharp corners or creases, the odd shapes in back of the fenders, and the absence of shut-lines or seams.
- A production car, given the presence of badging on the tail and fender, and the well integrated back-up light and plate lights.
- The wheels, tires, and hubcaps appear to be non-original.
- It appears to date from around 1970.
- It's parked next to a US-market Buick.

Come on Tim, throw us a bone...

Not Spanish.
Not Australian, but right hemisphere...
RHD.
Fiberglass.
Was a production model, albeit in relatively small numbers.
From a country not typically associated with with car makers.

Some kind of Morgan?

Tim,

I am frustrated a bit, because I think I found part of the answer, but for the life of me and all that is found on the internet, I cannot pinpoint the details. Is your car the one that was designed and built by a college professor in Thailand in 1972-1973?

Nope. Car picured is a 1964. No link to Thailand that I know of.

100+ built, named after a a bird.

Looks a bit like a Sabra. There were made in Israel.. warm?

I too looked at the Sabra, but I do not think that is it. Front ends are all wrong.

I'm still stuck on Ed's latest, although I like the title!
The car looks like bits of lots of things but I haven't a clue!

Fantastic car. That's the ex Louis Chiron Bugatti Type 51, essentially a rebodied Grand Prix car at Pebble.

Anybody got Ed's little grey coupe above?




Tim

It's been along time since I looked at this last...

Tim - I have no idea what the car is that Ed posted. Any clues Ed?

it's been a while...

Here's a hint. Same coachbuilder and chassis manufacturer combo as this car:

Well, the wheels/hubcaps/swing axle looks like Fiat 500 to me.

Got it as Fiat Gamine Vignale and it is indeed Fiat 500 based. so I guess the coupe is Vignale?

Yes, but which one?
