Veery close

, but I need to know one single word you haven't mentioned.

Cabrius · « **Reply #3 on:** March 05, 2009, 03:03:37 PM »

John (De Bruyne)?

Allemano · « **Reply #4 on:** March 05, 2009, 04:29:09 PM »

Not the forename!

Allemano · « **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2009, 08:18:52 AM »

Can't believe it!

Experts cut this off!

That's strange. Since when did GT not mean for example Grand Touring?

Just wondering - I would have been very surprised if I had been studhamsmudger.

Quite similar, but not the same: GT often means "Gran Turismo", but the car is definetley called Grand Touring!

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #11 on:** April 10, 2009, 06:01:56 PM »

Well, GT means Gran Turismo in Italian cars, Grand Touring in British, Grand Tourer in French etc.

Allemano · « **Reply #12 on:** April 10, 2009, 06:23:42 PM »

That's true, but in terms of my sources the car is mentioned as "Grand Touring" and not shortened "GT". If it would have named "de Bruyne GT" I hadn't called for the meaning of these two characters. Note that the mid-engined de Bruyne was also called "Grand Sport" and not only "GS"

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11, 2009, 04:36:17 AM »

I must admit it's the first time I've seen this car refferd to as more than simply the "De Bruyne".

Thanks for your support!

Just discovered that the de Bruyne is currently being offered for sale in Wales. Here are a couple of photos of how its looks now.

Carnut · « **Reply #17 on:** November 15, 2010, 06:08:35 PM »

Just how dare anyone tinker with a Giugiaro masterpiece?
Did they really think they could improve it?!

Djetset · « **Reply #18 on:** November 15, 2010, 06:14:22 PM »

Very sad but true. Interesting photos though as I had never seen a good shot of the rear end (and now wish I hadn't!).

Allemano · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2010, 06:16:02 PM »

Anyway an interisting find!

Carnut · « **Reply #20 on:** November 15, 2010, 06:20:40 PM »

Yes, I had always wondered what it looked like too. I hadn't realised just how much they had changed it; I thought it was almost exactly the same with only very minor detail changes.

I spied that on ebay the other day but I didn't realise it was the only one made... Still, probably end up cheaper than a G-K
