For a point can you tell me what this is, and importantly the reason why it looks like this?!!

Is it a Customotive Chimo?

Djetset · « **Reply #2 on:** February 04, 2009, 02:26:42 PM »

No sorry, afraid not!

Moved up to the Experts.....

Djetset · « **Reply #4 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:29:02 PM »

Come on Pros, you know this one.

Is it a modified Lamorghini Jarama? Updated to US safety requirements?

Djetset · « **Reply #6 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:58:37 PM »

No, sorry it's not.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #7 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:58:12 AM »

From a BL brand, I'd reckon. And I suspect its appearance is related to its source of motive power.

Djetset · « **Reply #8 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:02:16 AM »

Hmmm, on the right lines brand wise, but in no other area!

Allemano · « **Reply #9 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:09:49 AM »

Volvo 480 related?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #10 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:18:51 AM »

Then the appearance could be related to bumper / safety regulations.

Djetset · « **Reply #11 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:20:25 AM »

Nothing to do with a Volvo, and also nothing with safety regulations either I'm afraid.

Arunas · « **Reply #12 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:30:10 AM »

A kitcar?

Perhaps the sharing of TR7/8 Components with other BL makes / models, to lower production costs?

Djetset · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2009, 05:21:44 AM »

Oh Otto, your so close. It is TR7/8-related, but it's not a cost reduction/component sharing exercise. And no Arunas, nothing to do with a kit car. Come on Otto, I'll hold it for you for 24 hours to work out what/why this is.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** March 14, 2009, 09:19:03 AM »

Is this a variation of the Lynx project?

Djetset · « **Reply #16 on:** March 16, 2009, 05:40:48 PM »

No Sir, it's not.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** March 17, 2009, 04:03:28 AM »

The "Broadside" concept had a pretty normal-looking (for a TR7/8) front clip. Perhaps this is an attempt at a Stag replacement?

Djetset · « **Reply #18 on:** March 17, 2009, 04:09:42 AM »

I admire your perserverance Otto, but sadly not.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** March 17, 2009, 04:15:22 AM »

I give up.

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** March 17, 2009, 04:21:33 AM »

Shame, because you'll kick yourself when the answer is revealed. Sleep on it, and maybe the answer will come to you.

Allemano · « **Reply #21 on:** March 17, 2009, 04:25:57 AM »

One of the countless ADO projects, isn't it?

Djetset · « **Reply #22 on:** March 17, 2009, 04:32:15 AM »

Not really! I think it's fair to say that Otto has established that it's BL though, and something connected with the Triumph TR7/8. I'm not saying anything more than that!

Djetset · « **Reply #23 on:** August 11, 2009, 02:52:24 PM »

Wow, this has been here a life time. Can the real Pros now crack this mystery?

Allemano · « **Reply #24 on:** August 11, 2009, 03:13:55 PM »

A possible, but still born Triumph TR7/8 successor?
