love stories like that. Obscure cars, 1 of only 3, are the other 2 out there? Design is interesting of course unique, however I see BMW in the front end design? Even a hint of my favourite car design, the BMW 507. thanks John.

The 507 is an absolutely DDG design for me too !

Geoff & Steve long beat me to it. At first glance I saw the BMW 507 all over this car. Both, and the 53 Ghia that Lloyd shows, are fantastic!

I thought that I knew all the Jaguar variations. I either forgot or did not know of this one. Looks more BMW than Jaguar, I agree.

I wondered if this was AI. Google AI says no. There is lots of reference to Alfa Romeo influence in the Bertone design. I would like a model of this one in 1/43. Thanks John for the post.

Looks like an Alfa to me,
