Ok, while we await some clues or resolution, a more mainstream one to chill out...

If we're going to go pre-WWll, this is a fairly well known one:

Scratching my head.. it's got shades of maserati sprinkled on, but it's not a maser...

You're right – it's not a Maserati – Khamsinesque though it is.

As no-one seems to be getting there, I'll give a few more details: based mainly on GM with a special body. 395 of this model built.

Here's a view of the same model with the lights up

Is it a Bitter? I don't know my Bitters very well but it sounds like their MO.

[Pomeroy]

My father as got a Moretti 125 GS tucked away (body just like a Fiat Dino Spyder but coupé). Do you think it'0s worth a bundle to?

I'm being quiet! But it doesn't matter cos JimH gets all the ones I don't anyway. I'm not bitter! ... and my Facel dash.

I think the reason why Ludvigsen wanted something outrageous for his Moretti £70, or £100,000 [ ] was because it had provenence and was eligable for the Historic Mille Miglia which is a rich kids' game!

But your dad's car is probably very cute indeed. Any chance of a pic of that?

[JimH]

Well I'll be rodgered with a splintered fence post, it was a Bitter. A CD coupe to be precise.

[speedyK]

Yes, Opel-based. Bitter Diplomat CD. So come on, Jim – post one again

Haven't got pictures with me but here is a good one. My dad's is in need of restoration, not shiny like this one Moretti 1600GS

When you mentioned Bitter I thought you may be right after seeing the front view and that grille

How about this (for sale on PH at the moment so don't go and cheat)

A lot of car for £4k!!

That's a Tatra. Another once great company reduced to churning out crap. Rear engined with an air cooled V8. I'd need to go and look up the number.
