Good question, but I'm almost sure that it's the design of someone else.

Close, but no cigar. I have a different name for this.

Right! The Flair was by Michelotti. This one was called the "Star" and was based on Fiat 128.
Made in 1971.

Not bad; it looks a much bigger car than the one on which it's based though.

This one didn't. Even if put on sale, I think it remained a one-off because the hand-made body was too expensive for such a cheap mechanics.
