"Does this mean that the coachbuilder is not German?"

I have been waiting for someone to ask that question. Been scouring Italian coachbuilders for the last three days.

You could always have asked it, of course...

Aha - didn't see that one, Sorry!
I was away for a couple of days and didn't see there was a second page...

So you've got there in the end!  Well done.

"You could always have asked it, of course..."

I try to avoid the guessing game.  Besides, I was pretty sure it was Italian by the look of it. I was guessing Zagato though.
I am recently home from Iraq and my resources are scattered so I am still relying heavily on the internet and we all know how accurate it can be.

Your choice of course.  But that's all part of the game and process of elimination.  There's nothing like a good educated guess although must say some of those we see here would not perhaps warrant that description!!

About the only guessing I do is to try to get something to start looking with.  "Is it Italian" and so forth. After that, I pretty much consider it my job to find it.

This is not a repost  :) See below.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Well, I see that I was wrong  :-\
I had the recent Porsche/VW prototype puzzles in mind. The reason I didn't find this former puzzle is, that this car has a proper designation not mentioned in the former puzzle.

Two possibilities left:
1) I leave this puzzle as an easy Rookie puzzle to find this designation and we merge puzzles afterwards.
2) I add the missing designation in the old puzzle and delete this one.

What are your opinions?

You can leave it as far as I am concerned.
The more puzzles the better!

That's what I preferred, too. So come on, Rookies! Points won't come much easier these days. Find the correct designation of this car and the point is yours.

Hmmm....

I can see the solved index becoming even harder to manage and search. I suggest if we go down this re-post avenue, we agree to merge, post-solution

My $0.02

EA 41 is the designation I was looking for! (EA = Entwicklungsauftrag = Development Contract)

Could someone please merge the two puzzles? Thank you.
