Looks like a coupe version of the BMW Garmisch Show car from the early 70's

You could be on the right track there.
But as per the original question I need the company and the individual responsible for the design.
Still locked for you untiil your next reply!

Having had a good look around is it a design for a BMW 5-series coupe design for the E12 ,the first 5-series from the early seventies.
Bertone ,who designed it as well as a saloon.

Well I would guess for this era either Guigiario or Gandini.

You picked the right one!  Giugiaro had left Bertone for Ghia anyway by 1966..
Bertone BMW 520 Coupé proposal by Marcello Gandini from 1970 it is.
Well done.

I think the car under the cover likely looks like this.
