I'll take you seriously and tell you, in all honesty, that the German giant was not, in any way, involved with this.

All I've got is this:

HUMBERSTONE
Two of Chris Humberstone's own designs were earmarked for production but never made it: The TTS Triplex six-seater and the Midi.


Plus, the car in the puzzle pic has actually got an Alfa logo on the bonnet (that I photoshopped out).

Would it be possible to post the unveiled Midi? That would be great for my archive!

The Midi is the car in the picture.

So I'll assume you meant the TTS Triplex? My book doesn't provide any pics of that. But it's probably this one:

The Triplex Alfa was already posted by me... http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=5736.0
No, I meant the Midi with Alfa logo! (which you'd photoshopped out!)
