This one should be easy for you guys. I really, really want one of these. I am trying to figure out how to get one here. So much hassle to import cars to the US.

I am not sure if there are any SP2's here. They are not really that expensive in US dollars. I know they are pretty much all in Brazil. I know a few may be in Europe. I will own one before this decade is out.

I have spent hours looking for that egg shaped car.
It's getting my goat.
Can't wait for someone to come up with the right answer.
My guess is that it is a one or two off car.
It is experimental or was a prototype for a car show.
The body work is pretty crappy. That tells me, that More Than Likely, A big player didn't make it. or the photograph and shading makes it look like wavy body work. (dunno)
The interior seats are sweet. That tells me it might be a movie car?
(Then again....prolly not)
It has side markers. That tells me it might be a US built car.
And I am making up all kinds of shit in my head to help find the manufacturer of this thing.
Maybey it's a Gustl 45B tri-clops. I simply dunno...

Close enuf-I was told it was a'38 but have no other info. It was an original, one-off car, destined for an auction-estimated at 1.8 million.

How is it that we now start showing the nuts and bolts to guess the vehicle manufacturer?? At least everyone who has presented a car has at least shown an exterior component of the vehilce.
I don't see this as being in the spirit of the game. Just a thought.

kidna looks like a datsun 510 but the 510 only has a dual head lights on each side.
also looks like a bmw 2002
the 2002 has a single head light on each side but it has a largs rear deck which dosent seem to be present on that car, either that or its the angle

The fact that you say "what it's made of" makes me think of the plastic bodied Russian Mishka (People's car) but I can't find any that look like it... so I'll keep guessing but wanted to throw that in there... Mostly because I *want* to play this game, but my success rate is *ahem* a bit low to say the least.

the "what it's made of" question got me thinking about the compacted-wool bodied trabant (east german poeple's car). i know that those cars had their door made out of a 4 inch thick piece of wool and was then pressed to give it some structural rigidity, but still you could punch a hole through it....
is it a trabant?

I see your point - I didn't find any closer looking Alfa on my own, but the guy who asked about that pic told me that it should be an Alfa Romeo prototype car
anyway - if you find another car that would match, it's highly appreceated

wheels and tail lights look too British. I went hunting for a proto MG/Triumph with no luck either. Frua? Ghia? Bertone?

it could be an Alfa-based prototype car from any design-studio

The wheel arches only come close to the Sprint Speciale Alfas, and the 1952 Disco Volante, the little red car at the end of my pics.. I agree with Howard it looks like a red british car. The skinny wheels and little knockoffs. I looked their also, nothing.
