mat777 said: Jaguar Bertone B99 - Helloooooooo Jaguar, you could make this into an XF-based coupe and wipe the floor with the CLS and 6-series! Or base it on the XJ LWB and take the fight to the Rolls Ghost and Bentley Continental!   I wouldn't be surprised if that was in the offing - The XK is pretty long in the tooth now, the F-Type will cover the "sporty" end of what it does, so for the "wafty/footballer" market a saloon based coupe with a decent back seat may well be a decent idea.

deltashad said: Codswallop said: Shame we never got the MG GT  Rover 75 Coupe was nice too  Two very attractive cars that missed my radar! Many, many years ago now i was accidentally included in the "send too" recipient list on an email detailing the early test and shakedown of just these two prototypes from MG. About 15min later i got a "please delete that last email without reading" email from the redfaced sender in MG powertrain. Needless to say by then everyone in our office had already been shown the "new" cars............. ;-) (The MG GT had a 3.0l version of the KV6)

Not sure if it was ever an official Citroen drawing or even a concept, but the Xantia Coupé looks interesting in a 90's sort of way...   I did hear that PSA had planned the Xantia but ditched it in favour of the 406 coupé

Could you buy one of those and use it? Register it as a kit car or something?

Brilliant programe on discovery turbo ATM about old concept cars. Including this, Chrysler Turbine car which they produced and gave to a lot of people to test. Sad viewing watching them all be cut up/crushed.

The Maserati boomerang in my previous post is owned and regularly driven by a German enthusiast. And the Holden Hurricane (below)has recently been restored by GM and will begin appearing at shows. It all depends most likely on employees sneaking the concepts out from the crusher queue and passing them on, and being lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to buy one.

Is that a 3wheeler? Single rear wheel.

Just, WOW, I imagine explaining to the Polizei why I just crashed my car saying that something out of a 1970s time tunnel drove the other way and I turned my head 180°  These must be about the coolest rims evAr, have something Kubrickesque on them, with the 3d squares giving "space depth", those might be machined by hand from a solid block of forged aluminium because no CNC around in the 70s ?
