Errr, not wanting to sound stupid but how do you attach images now? Can't seem to find how!

We can't upload anything on to the site at present.
You could probably link to the picture but of course, that would expose the URL so it's up to you. I can hang tight.

Got an idea, am going to use my online showroom over at Tamiyaclub so you won't know what it is anyway, muhahahahaha!
P.S, have to link I'm afraid, the pic won't show on forum.

Very like an Espada.
I have a feeling I've seen this parked next to a previous post.
Racking my brain (if you can call it a brain)

Well, it was designed to be a 4 seat GT although I am not sure if it has appeared before. Will let you stew a bit more before giving clues, lol.

OHH I know - Its a Scimitair, is it the GTE model with the HUGE glass panel for the tailgate ??

- mr_pushrod
Nope not a Scimitar, this has Jaguar bits in it.

Ok, this uses a complete Jaguar XJ6 floorpan and engine and was designed and built in the 1970's.

Well the wheels look like they are nicked off a BMW 507 so I am guessing it is based on that. BMW 507 Speedboat GTI?

The wheels aren't really "knicked off". They are still on it.mr_pushrod
So, the question is: who is the designer of this BMW?
A designer of many things including some icons.
A designer of several famous cars.

Not quite.
"Always the real thing"...

Dr Albrecht Graf von Goertz was the designer of the original 507. This car is special-bodied by somebody famous.ultrabeat
And I suppose he could be described as Mr Coca-Cola. Which design icon is associated with Coca-Cola?
- 1,803
- mr_pushrod
Well that would be Raymond Lowery.
- 5,753
Loewy, in fact. Designer of the original Coca-Cola bottle.
Interestingly, von Goertz was originally sponsored by Loewy to go to design college and later worked with Loewy at Studebaker. Years later Loewy puts this body onto von Goertz' 507.
Pushrod to dazzle again.
