Sorry, don't have a higher resolution picture, or I would be able to decipher the badges/info board! I've had a suggestion that it's a de Tomaso Longchamp, but I'm not convinced. -- Halmyre That's you that is.

I thought of a Longchamp, but the rear window treatment is wrong. I've seen that thing somewhere, and I should know what it is. -- Pete M - OMF#9 Range Rover V8 Turbo Range Rover 4.6 HSE "Professional Petrolhead" Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Halmyre Guest Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 3:20 am    Post subject: Re: Mystery Car In article <g0nd5e$q02$1@registered.motzarella.org>, pete.murray@SPAMFREEblueyonder.co.uk says...

A chap on the Atlas F1 Nostalgia forum tracked it down - it's a 1971 Momo Mirage; Chevy mechanicals, Frua body, built by Monteverdi. -- Halmyre That's you that is.

I am completely wrong, but my first instinct was Ford Mustang - though a second look said the radiator grille ruled that out. But did Ford use a stylist that also worked for an Italian company?

Yay! For some reason the name Frua came to mind the moment I looked at the photo. Now I'm trying to think why...

Ah yes: http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/7549/momomirage4ld.jpg I'd been thinking Gordon Keeble or Bristol but couldn't find any of those that looked similar. definitely not a DeTomaso.

I'd been thinking Frua in terms of going "Is that a Glas?" and then wondering about oddballs like the Monteverdi. He really did design some beautiful, understated cars.
