Metro ?

Sorry, but still none of the above. The model name is obscure, but not that obscure, and as a clue is it is four-legged based

Pantera ?

No, more dog than cat-related (but still obscure!).

PJ has the correct name with the Saluki (shared with the 1971 Siva Saluki, plus the international export version of the Dodge Ram Charger/Plymouth Trail Duster, known as the Chrysler Saluki in some overseas markets - I've never seen the latter myself, but I do have a brochure on this version from the Middle East).

So, a point to PJ for the name, plus a point to Carnut for identifying this as a Chris Humberstone project.

I will keep this puzzle open however to that the remaining details can be guessed at (e.g. intended client, precise powertrain, etc.). Have fun!

Thanks.
I'd dismissed Saluki since according to Chris Rees the Siva Saluki appeared in 1973...

Was the design originally commissioned by an established car maker?
Was it intended to have a 4-cylinder engine?

Djetset · « **Reply #71 on:** May 31, 2015, 01:58:30 PM »

You are very welcome Carnut. The Siva Saluki appeared earlier than 1973, as it was mentioned in Motor magazine in 1971, and an advert appearing for it it in a Car 'Fun Car' special supplement in 1972.

This car was 'proposed' by Humberstone, rather than commissioned by anyone, but it was not for an 'established; car maker. It was intended to have more than 4-cylinders.
