Good job!

I didn't know Eurostyle was involved in this project!
More info about that Eurostyle connection?

[Allemano]

I didn't know as well, but at least one internet source reports the same.

@75america: PM sent.

Very interesting!

It remains very difficult to find additional information about Eurostyle.

It looks like back in 1970, Eurostyle had some issues with the unions:

From Style Auto #29 about the NSU Nergal:

"...La carrozzeria è stata realizzata dalla Eurostyle di Torino; in realtà le note vicende sindacali dello scorso autunno hanno pregiudicato il completamento della Nergal in tempo per essere esposta nello stand Glasurit al 52e Salone dell'automobile di Torino (novembre 1970); vi figurava infatti solo sotto forma di simulacro al vero, in quanto le ultime operazioni di finitura e abbigliamento so,o giunte al termine solanto parecchi mesi più tardi."


Apart from that, I also found in another source that the company was apparently owned or founded by Gino Marega (Anyone? Although on another forum, the names Mario Gatto and Michel Liprandi are mentioned) and that it was located at the Via Artisti 19 in 10124 Torino.

Who can add something?

Would it be possible for a native Italian speaker to translate the Italian part of 75america's post? Google translator speaks dubble dutch in German...

With the help of google...

"...The body was built by Eurostyle of Turin, but in fact the known trade union events of last autumn had affected the completion of Nergal in time to be exposed in the Glasurit booth at 52nd Turin Motor Show (November 1970), there appeared in fact only in the form of mock up, as the latest finishing and clothing operations came to an end several months later."
