Saab Sonnett?

@re · « **Reply #2 on:** January 03, 2008, 09:01:43 AM »

Not a Saab

@re · « **Reply #3 on:** January 20, 2008, 07:46:02 AM »

The January Rookie Clearout continues. If this isn't a Saab - then what is it?

@re · « **Reply #4 on:** February 26, 2008, 05:55:48 AM »

It is actually quite far from a Saab. And I'm a bit surprised that no-one has posted a single guess - it's really much easier than you think...

I know this car, I've got the same set of pics but I'm not able to find them!

Corvair-based?

@re · « **Reply #7 on:** February 26, 2008, 06:17:12 AM »

Nope - the relation between this and a Corvair is just as non-existent as between this and a Saab. It has four wheels and an engine, though

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #8 on:** February 26, 2008, 06:41:31 AM »

Mini-based?

@re · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2008, 07:14:46 AM »

Well. You're looking for something a wee bit more exotic than Corvairs, Minis and Saabs...

SeaLion · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2008, 07:51:43 AM »

Not a Ferrari 250 P, the spiderversion of 250 LM?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2008, 07:55:37 AM »

It can't be a Ferrari 250 gto64, isn't it?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** February 26, 2008, 08:00:38 AM »

Or is it a 330 gt spyder by Fantuzzi?

Once again SeaLion beat me for few minutes.....

@re · « **Reply #14 on:** February 26, 2008, 11:40:13 AM »

You're very, very close. It's not a 250 P, it's not a 330, and it's not by Scaglietti. It's a one-off, and I'll need the correct (and quite long) model designation

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #15 on:** February 26, 2008, 11:41:45 AM »

Drogo design?

@re · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2008, 11:45:46 AM »

No. Actually, you've been terribly close, but you need to get the combination right

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2008, 11:49:56 AM »

Not a Ferrari 250 gto64 aniway...

@re · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2008, 11:51:38 AM »

No. There's a connection to another continent as well (but that's the last clue you're going to get)...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2008, 12:32:07 PM »

It's pretty much like the Ferrari 250 gt 2+2 modified by Fantuzzi...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2008, 12:37:31 PM »

Ok, I found it!
That is a Ferrari 250 GT Fantuzzi Nart Spyder S\N2235GT

<<< link removed >>>

@re · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2008, 12:50:39 PM »

Yes, it is pretty much like the 250 GT 2+2 by Fantuzzi. But not quite - it is the 250 GT Fantuzzi NART Spyder!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:07:53 AM »

If only their were points awarded for naming what a car isn't, I'd be way ahead of Paul Jaray...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #23 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:34:46 AM »

Without your guesses would be much harder....

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:40:39 AM »

I appreciate that. Often other's process-of-elimination efforts lead me to correct answers, as well.

All in all, straight-on shots of the rear of automobiles are usually more difficult than shots of the front or side. I can think of plenty of cars that look very similar to this car when viewed from the rear. I though "Biota" when I first saw this, and though it a variation on that car, hence the "Mini" guess...
