What's the make and model of this car?

Quiller · « **Reply #1 on:** November 05, 2008, 06:15:55 PM »

What can the pros make of this?

@re · « **Reply #2 on:** November 05, 2008, 07:02:48 PM »

I'm expecting it to be Japanese. Is it in any way related to the car standing next to it?

You're right - it is Japanese! Am I becoming predictable? I don't know for sure that is has any connection to the car behind it (which I'm sure you're able to identify...) - but in theory I can trace one

grobmotorix · « **Reply #4 on:** November 06, 2008, 01:28:30 PM »

the car in the back might be the Gigliato Aerosa. The one we´re searching for has some styling clues that look kind of "isuzu-ish" to me.

@re · « **Reply #5 on:** November 06, 2008, 10:16:11 PM »

That was my first thought, too - there's a hint of the Isuzu Mu off-roader to it.

It's not that you're predictable, it's just that there are a few tell-tale signs that a car could be Japanese...

So, was Nobuo Nakamura involved in this, maybe?

This? Why, I can make a hat........or a brooch.......or a pterodactyl...

And Leon's getting larger!

Otto's sense of humour strikes again

What's the 'Leon' reference though?

OK, let's see what we've got here. Yes, that's a Gigliato Aerosa (

grobmotorix) in the background, as designed by Nobuo Nakamura (

@are), who used to be at Isuzu. And the pink car is based on an Isuzu...

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** November 07, 2008, 12:06:30 PM »

That was quite clear, so far...

Quiller, how about you get some of your old puzzles solved or deadlined?

Thx.

Quiller · « **Reply #13 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:18:32 PM »

I could tell you the answer!

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2010, 07:20:48 AM »

Isuzu official concept or made by another ...tuner?

Quiller · « **Reply #15 on:** August 01, 2010, 06:51:38 PM »

I'm pretty sure this isn't an official Isuzu but an independent design
As a clue, it dates from 1995

pnegyesi · « **Reply #16 on:** May 26, 2011, 10:22:09 AM »

Are you sure about the 1995 date? I find it strange that Car Styling did not feature this car in 1995 (or 1996 for that matter)

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** May 26, 2011, 12:17:36 PM »

I do know the Isuzu COA I, II and III, that share some design elements.

So is this the Isuzu COA IV?

Quiller · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2011, 10:13:31 AM »

1995 is the date I have. I don't believe it's an 'official' Isuzu design (unless you can show otherwise!) - hence not a COA....

Was the photo taken at Geneva? If that is the Aerosa behind the puzzle car, this is probably 1997...

Arunas · « **Reply #20 on:** January 10, 2013, 12:16:23 PM »

Is it some university project?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** January 11, 2013, 12:54:29 PM »

Is it based upon an ordinary Trooper?

I was at Geneva in 1997 and this car wasn't there. I'm pretty sure about the 1995 date. I'm afraid I don't know too much more about the details - e.g. exactly what Isuzu it was based on. But I don't believe it was a university project

Arunas · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2013, 09:30:51 AM »

Did this company which made this concept car build other models?

WayneB · « **Reply #24 on:** January 17, 2013, 02:44:15 PM »

Looks like it was done by DC Design in India to me.
