up one level...

Italian body, and if so, Vignale?

Allemano · « **Reply #3 on:** November 03, 2009, 06:15:18 AM »

No & no.

2nd attempt:

Body: Beutler?
Car basis: BMW?

Your second attempt was a bulls eye hit.

What kind of BMW is it?

Yours for 24h!

Although I can't find photographic evidence, I think that it is based on a 503.

I have it simple as a V8, so, the point is yours.

I would have guessed it's a 507 because 1) the wheels are the same and 2) it seems to date from 1957/8 as it looks so very similar to other Beutler bodies from those years and that's when the 507 was in production.

I was going to post that as an answer but unfortunately 75america beat me to it!

Knowing the answers is not good enough on Auto Puzzles; you've got to be super-quick with them!

My first guess was also the 507, but none of my sources does mention that Beutler bodied a 507 (which does not mean they didn't)
But it is mentioned that they bodied a 503 and 502, so I went for the 503...

Allemano · « **Reply #11 on:** November 06, 2009, 08:04:13 AM »

Unfortunately my source tells nothing about it, but I suppose as well that it's a 503.

Got some more reliable infos. (topics headline)

Must be the same car - also described as a 502 Coupe by Beutler:

I guess you're right:

The car was built in 1956 using a BMW 502 - 3,2 Liter chassis. The front was changed by Beutler in 1963. The car still exists. Some information I found online:

The header should be changed to 1956 in order to avoid confusion with the 1957 Beutler BMW coupe: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=30418
