The wheels seem to be from a Vectra, but could it be a Zafira prototype?

I´m quite sure this was bigger than a Zafira.
And I agree that mit was most probably based upon a Vectra.

But as I said, it had a specific name/designation.

No.

BIG HINT:

It were only three letters, an abbreviation, obviously.

So it´s an Opel xxx concept car.

ItalDesign Giugiaro?  It looks like his late 80s/early 90s period..

I´m quite sure it is an Opel in-house design.

Opel MPV?

If it was Gordon Brown, he was seemingly better at designing Opels than he was at attempting to run the British economy!  :P

I do not have any information about a specific designer.

I´ve had the opportunity to buy some projector foils that stem from Opel´s design department for internal design presentations.

I only have the name - and it is not MPV.

Djetset, if I remember rightly Gordon Brown, the American Opel Design head not the grinning ex-Prime Minister, Tragically died falling of cliffs high above the Rhine

Sorry Wingroad, the Gordon Brown joke was in rather poor taste!

Anyway, is this another Opel RAK?
