I went to North Carolina once, but I didn't see that.

Is it a Corvair? Edit - too slow ( yes I know he didn't mean the ancient UK Ford V4)

Chevrolet Corvair

Edit: Damn, that's what happens when you have multiple tabs open.

[bridgdav]

Rear engined - Cheverolet Corvair Monza Spyder.

This was pretty special as well.



With THIS inside it..!



Loads of other stunning machinery on show.

Hondina something-or-other, there's also a Fiat-based one which looks almost exactly the same.

Edit - Hondina Youngstar

By coincidence I was in Switzerland this weekend and here is the Fiat 500 based car.
It's one of two designed/built by Ercole Spada and called a Zanzara (Italian for Mosquito)

isn't that a Sunbeam Tiger? - Why does it have something about Corvettes on the tax disc holder?

TR6. I assume it's a Corvette engine.

Easy one, that's the new BMW 1 Series.

No, that's the latest Jaguar teaser.

First thought was Moretti Sportiva but I can tell that it isn't even on this small screen; looks Fiat 850-based, will have a think ...

Fiat 850 Coupe by Caprera, this yellow car is badged as a Moretti which is wrong.
Here's another obscure car I discovered just this weekend.

Looks very Fiat 128 SL in the middle part. No idea though.

Anyone wants to guess this car then?

Sorry to go off topic but I think I have a new favourite car, that is absolutely gorgeous.

You and me both. Hard to believe that, with styling like that, they still failed in the oil crisis.

A month or two back I was reading (Octane?) about one of the last Intermeccanica's, and the development work (significantly post-sale) needed to get it to handle properly well. Really nice article and made me want one...well, one, plus a friendly mechanic!

A quick one for everybody apart from Trommel

So many different coachbuilders did Fiat 850s - looks like it originally might have had a Fiat badge on the front:

Michelotti Fiat 125S, slight overtones of Daf Siluro perhaps.
