Thank you!
(How I love the work of deduction...with my index...)

Here's another pic on which you can see the Capri II name, but can't read what the other name says.
You'll have to take my word for it that its other name was Mustela!

Here´s the original press kit´s cover:

..but that's a different (bigger) car.

[Carnut]

Yes indeed.
That picture is of a completely different Mustela and is one of the cars referred to in my posts #28, 30, 33, 37 and 49!

The Mustela I was a De Tomaso project from 1969. Tom Tjaarda is named to be the responsible designer at Ghia back then.
In 1973 a similar Mustela II was built already with Ford alloy rims as A. De Tomaso sold his company to Ford shortly after he took over the Carrozzerias Ghia and Vignale.
Both 2+2 coupés cars were Ford powered the latter with a 3,0 liter engine.

And wasn't an almost identical body used for a Lancia prototype too?

You mean the Dunja?

You mean the Dunja?

No, I mean the Lancia Fulvia Competizione Ghia 1969 by Tom Tjaarda:
