A design that never made it off the paper. Who drew this car, and what was it supposed to be?

Supposed to be: MGB

Not an MG

Very close...

Morris - Morris is close although I would prefer another brand

barrett · « **Reply #12 on:** June 03, 2019, 05:30:50 AM »

That's less close

norberthanke · « **Reply #13 on:** June 04, 2019, 02:46:20 PM »

Healey

He did log in yesterday but regrettably hasn't answered any of the replies to his puzzles, of which there are at least 10.
I've PM'd him to see if I can induce him to reply but unfortunately he hasn't answered. He may be away from his computer.

Jeez, Barrett's tag line: "Don't delete me" is beginning to make much sense

Yes, a Doug Thorpe scheme for a 3000 Coupe.
