To gain a point, please accurately identify what this design sketch was proposed to become by make and model name. Thanks.

Experts?

[Carnut]

Hmmm.
Those wheels look very 80s Lagonda-ish, but it's LHD and has American side-marker lights..
So is there any Lagonda or Bill Towns connection?

No known Lagonda or William Towns connection to the best of my knowledge.

How about a TVR Tasmin idea by Oliver Winterbottom?
The wheels are similar to that as well, as is the B pillar...

Sorry, but not that either.

More mainstream than Jensen.

[Carnut]

But still a bit specialist, like AC?

No, a mainstream manufacturer.

[Carnut]

Triumph?

[Djetset]

Triumph?

No, but on the right track.

Sunbeam?  Looks a bit like the Chrysler C car coupe...

[Djetset]

Sunbeam?  Looks a bit like the Chrysler C car coupe...

No, steering off on the the wrong track now. Triumph was closer.

[Carnut]

MG then?

[Djetset]

MG then?

Yes, it is a sketch for a proposed MG coupe. Now Locked to you to tell me what the model wold have been called.

[Carnut]

Thanks.
I haven't been able to find this picture on the Internet; perhaps it's not out there?
Is it part of the Condor project?

Well done Carnut, this is indeed one of the many styling proposals for the stillborn BLMC/MG Condor project, this one planned to have been called the MG Magna.

My picture source was taken from print, rather than on-line, so you may have struggled to have found this image on the internet, until now. Another point to you, moving you ever closer the the Pros abyss
