I'll suggest a different approach to this... not Gutknecht.

Few questions will put you in the right direction:

I think it's quite easy to recognize the base...italian famous maker...

jotage21 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 11, 2010, 05:23:38 AM »

Based on Ferrari?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #32 on:** February 11, 2010, 05:31:38 AM »

Not Ferrari...

Allemano · « **Reply #33 on:** February 11, 2010, 05:37:58 AM »

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think there's an Alfa Romeo badge on top of the grille.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #34 on:** February 11, 2010, 05:50:50 AM »

It is based on an Alfa Romeo.

Black hole!

by Josef Scheiwiller ??

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #37 on:** May 01, 2010, 04:39:37 PM »

Not him...

Amsterdam · « **Reply #38 on:** May 01, 2010, 04:43:12 PM »

Another guess then: Heber Frères?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #39 on:** May 01, 2010, 05:04:06 PM »

Not them...

Amsterdam · « **Reply #40 on:** May 01, 2010, 05:21:16 PM »

Brichet?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #41 on:** May 01, 2010, 05:26:28 PM »

Not that...and since this one is very hard, I can tell you that you won't find it in the list of Swiss coachbuilders from a certain coachbuilders site.
It is not reported in the Beaulieu encyclopedia of Coachbuilders, either.
Probably, a way to solve it could be to find out the donor car...

Allemano · « **Reply #42 on:** May 02, 2010, 04:18:50 AM »

Alfa Romeo 6C 2500?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #43 on:** May 02, 2010, 05:04:18 AM »

Not that..

Allemano · « **Reply #44 on:** May 02, 2010, 05:08:18 AM »

bigger or smaller engine?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #45 on:** May 02, 2010, 05:11:04 AM »

Bigger

Allemano · « **Reply #46 on:** May 02, 2010, 05:12:08 AM »

an 8C2900?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #47 on:** May 02, 2010, 05:18:09 AM »

Allemano · « **Reply #48 on:** May 02, 2010, 05:24:47 AM »

Was it later modified, maybe with a different body that it can't be easily identified today?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #49 on:** May 02, 2010, 06:11:16 AM »

The car was an original 8C 2900, later modified in what you see.
