To gain a point, who designed this car, and which company built this prototype? Both correct answers needed to be awarded the point please.

Rootes swallow, designed by an ex-ERA team. A bigger rear-engined imp.

Sorry, but no Rootes connection.

ERA built it for BMC in the late 50's to early 60's.Rear engined ,RWD Designed by Bob Koto ?

Sorry but that's not this car, although you did get one part right

It looks exactly like a smaller version of the rear-engined ERA proposal for BMC. So if it's not related to Rootes or BMC, maybe it was made for Triumph ?

Djetset · « **Reply #9 on:** June 10, 2014, 01:34:28 PM »

I see what you mean, but this is not the ERA project for Rootes, but it is BMC related (but not Triumph).

Swift?

Not Swift.

Hino?

Djetset · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2014, 05:18:49 PM »

Not Hino (and I can't think of any BMC relationship with Hino!).

Some thing to do with Michelotti and BMC?

Djetset · « **Reply #15 on:** June 11, 2014, 02:03:35 PM »

No Michelotti involvement here.

Could "BMC related" mean Innocenti?

Roots Chrysler project ?

Djetset · « **Reply #21 on:** August 21, 2014, 06:21:17 PM »

Not an Innocenti project, and no Rootes connection, so it's not a Hillman Imp or Chrysler proposal.

oko94 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 22, 2014, 02:43:43 AM »

Has it been made for one specific brand of the BMC ?

Djetset · « **Reply #23 on:** August 22, 2014, 02:45:28 AM »

Not really, but this prototype was prepared by one of the BMC marques.

oko94 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 22, 2014, 02:47:21 AM »

Morris ?
