Post by: Aaron65 on October 17, 2010, 08:45:41 AM: To me it looks like a Bizzarini styled Maserati Ghibli or Indy...

Title: Re: Allemano's № 504
Post by: Allemano on October 17, 2010, 10:34:10 AM: It's a Bizzarrini.

Title: Re: Allemano's № 504
Post by: Allemano on October 17, 2010, 10:59:41 AM: No.
Title: Re: Allemano's № 504
Post by: Aaron65 on October 17, 2010, 01:15:55 PM: Hmmmmm. Is it a variant of the Bizzarrini Europa 1900? The one that was based on the Opel chassis?

I think it's a special 5300, but I really don't know who did this.

Yes, it has a relation to the 5300. Bizzarrini only built two different production cars, so, this connection was quite likely...
However it's indeed a special one. And it's the only ever built.
Title: Re: Allemano's № 504
Post by: Iluvatar on October 18, 2010, 08:51:02 AM: I think this car could be a prototipe for a new style of the 5300, which was never built.
Designer could be Giugiaro (Italdesign).

Post by: Ecnelis on October 18, 2010, 11:02:36 AM: There was Bizzarrini 5300 Stille Italia Spyder prototype with pop-up headlights, so maybe this is Bizzarrini 5300 Stille Italia Coupe?

As it is not a "Spyder" it can't be the one you've mentioned.

Title: Re: Allemano's № 504
Post by: Allemano on October 28, 2010, 11:50:42 AM: As far as I know Scaglione wasn't involved.

Post by: Allemano on October 28, 2010, 01:23:03 PM: My source reveals nothing about an external design studio, so I think it was an in-house design.
Title: Re: Allemano's № 504
Post by: als15 on October 28, 2010, 04:02:19 PM: A crazy guess... one of the last unfinished Bizzarrini 5300 completed some years later with a 6-cylinder Fiat 2300 engine?
Title: Re: Allemano's № 504
Post by: Allemano on October 28, 2010, 04:10:52 PM: No, it's much less complicated than that...

Post by: Jack KdH on April 18, 2011, 04:52:22 AM: Dear Friends,
I am "a new kid on the block" so forgive me.
For me it still is a question mark who designed this BIzzarrini 2+2. Giotto Bizzarrini told me that he doesn't remember the name. Other people involved told me it was a young and unknown designer who never was payed for his job and immediately left the car industry to use his skills in other industrial design.
Can anybody give me more details?
Ciao,
Jack

None of them are car people. I do, however, worship at Christmas;...I have a shrine dedicated to Victor Meldrew.
I'll get back to you with another guess soon!
Peace to everyone out there.
