Let's try this one.... What is the name of this "car" and its designer?
Title: Re: Arunas' 2018-07-20
Post by: oko94 on July 21, 2018, 04:12:26 PM
Is the name of the designer written below the rear tire ? Something like D. Ellimia ?

Remember it was featured in an old car catalogue of the seventies I apparently don't have anymore  :-\ . Think it was an article about a design view of upcoming models of big companies (that never were actually).
I could be totally wrong, but think I was wondering when watching it that it was a sketch for an unexpected car make... Porsche four seater?

Partly correct. However, I did not find mention of any car manufacturer. It is not not related to any....
