Time for another puzzler:


2o6

This looks incredibly familiar.....


Lamborghini Espada? But I fear that's far too pedestrian of a guess for what you've given us in the past.

Definitely looks like something done by Pietro Frua.

A Monteverdi? Total shot in the dark, but a Lamborghini or Maserati seems too easy.

Colin

Not Frua.

Not a Monteverdi, either, though that is the right sort of era.

Definitely looks Italian, but I am just going to go ahead and make my first guess this brand to get it out of the way.

Bitter?

There are certainly Italian connections here.

Not a Bitter.

Ha, that was my first thought but the windows don't look right.

Colin

Not Iso, but you are in the right sort of area.

No.

If you can get the designer (who is well known), then you may well be able to Google the answer......... I don't expect anyone will know off the top of their head what this is.

It would probably give it away if I told you where I saw it, too.

I'm pretty sure this is a Bertone design, right?

It is not a Bertone design.

cawimmer430

Aw shit.

It strikes me as "to wedgy" to be a Frua design. I won't guess Pininfarina because that might be to easy....

Italdesign?

Well, there is a Lancia connection here.... under that stylish body are Lancia mechanicals.

Now figure out what it really is!

I still need to guess because my knowledge of Italian exotics isn't as brilliant as yours!

Tjaarda was indeed the designer.

So you've got that it is based on a Lancia and that the designer was Tom Tjaarda.

Now you need to name this car (it was a concept, a one off)............ it has a name.
