What's the name of the company that created this car?

this nose looks so much like michelotti designed

Quiller · « **Reply #2 on:** December 20, 2008, 07:54:32 AM »

Considering that Michelotti penned so many cars, it's perhaps surprising that this wasn't one of his

Jaguar Piranha.

Quiller · « **Reply #4 on:** December 23, 2008, 12:04:44 PM »

No doubt the Bertone Pirana inspired this car but it's not the right answer.

(Here's a pic of the Pirana for comparison)

Blimey, I was pretty sure it was the Pirana..!
Something says me it could also be an Aston.

Nope. Your previous guess was more in the right territory

Got it!
It's a 1962 E-type that's been rebodied by Pietro Drogo.
Definitely a cool car.

Yes, well done. This was built for Drogo / Carrozzeria Sport Cars by Neri & Bonacini - I think that's the right story anyway!

A proper photo

DeAutogids · « **Reply #10 on:** August 23, 2010, 05:00:08 AM »

It has a bit of Espada in it as well?

And didn't they do an almost identical looking Ferrari 250GT too?

Allemano · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:51:11 AM »

Yes, and a blatant ugly Ferrari 330 GT

Carnut · « **Reply #13 on:** September 20, 2012, 05:24:51 AM »

Here'a rear view of this car (rather more successful than the front..):

Allemano · « **Reply #14 on:** September 20, 2012, 10:13:57 AM »

The wheels are much too small for that massive body.

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** October 08, 2023, 04:42:10 AM »

Needs a little bit of brushing up.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

1962 Jaguar E-Type S1 by Carrozzeria Sports Car

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** October 15, 2023, 02:13:37 PM »

Of course

autospeurder · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2023, 03:23:00 AM »

A small correction. It is Carrozzeria Sports Cars

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** October 16, 2023, 03:28:56 AM »

Oops, but the logo tells it all.

SACO · « **Reply #21 on:** October 16, 2023, 05:02:39 PM »

This car is known to be bodied by Drogo ?

Carnut · « **Reply #22 on:** October 16, 2023, 05:13:41 PM »

Carrozzeria Sports Cars was Piero Drogo's business name..

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** October 16, 2023, 05:14:22 PM »

Piero Drogo was one of three founders of Carrozzeria Sports Cars.
Furthermore there was a close connection to the coachbuilders Neri & Bonacini, but I don't know their role in this case.

I now see that it is a repost I didn't find because of some typos. Merged now.
