Title: Say what you see...
Post by: Viral_Jim on 05 July 2018, 19:43:04
Spotted this on the street and have no idea what it could b, thought I’d put it out to the OOf collective wisdom. It’s badged Ghia everywhere other than a small fez horse on the umberplate. Any offers? Never seen anything like it before  :-\

That rear end looks very kit car like,but I suppose it could be one of the Frua cars.

Inclined to agree, but the interior was definitely a professional/company fit-out.

Got me beat that one?

Opti will be along shortly. He will have one in his stables I would guess.

At a guess , a one off from a styling house maybe based on a Fiat. Didnt Italian studios use Ghia as a sales badge?

There is a tool on the internet where you put in a photo of a person and I believe it tells you who the nearest match is. Cant you do the same with a photo of a car?

What country is that? France?

1960's Ghia 1500 gt .
Unusual front end modification to the standard factory production but still a very pretty car.
Nice spot.  :y

To be fair, this weekend, in Arnage, rarities are not so rare  :y

Next, Porker 356 Notchback.

Only about 850 made, and many were chopped in period to make speedsters. First one I’ve ever seen.

In other news, Le Mans saved her most ridiculous treat until last.
