Any idea where I took this? Recognize the car? Answers with tomorrow’s post.View attachment 69632View attachment 69633

My guess is Alfa Romeo Guilietta GT Tipo 101 by Scagalione. Probably in the Alfa museum.

Looks like a fancy wine rack to me. Lord Linley design perhaps?

saw this in Brasil- never seen this VW model in Europe, similar to type 411 but different.

Looks like a Squareback that mated with a Karmann Ghia.

We have a partial winner! It is an Alfa, but the picture was taken at the Italian National Auto Museum in Torino.
A flying saucer!

As in the engine in Ford Transits, slow as hell. Really.

Not really Vince.

The Transit was quite heavy compared to the many little cars that were fitted with these engines, some of these were real fliers!

Big difference if 65hp has to lug around 1500 or 600kg.

Or a take on the E-type

Or a take on the E-type

Disco Volante Alfa debuted a decade earlier than the E-type. Probably the other way round, Jag designers used the Alfa as a template for the C- and D-types which led to the E-type.

How do you remove the wheels on that little Alfa? Looks like you'd have to jack it up about a foot off the ground for them to drop out the bottom.
I recall reading somewhere that some motoring journalist (I forget who, it might have been Jeremy Clarkson) described that style of body as "a well-used bar of soap"
