I think my hint started more confusion than I thought. Some said that the car is named after the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet or named after a mythical creature know s a half-eagle, half-lion in various cultures. So lets try to got more to the car that I'm looking for. it is not named after a mythical creature know s a half-eagle, half-lion in various cultures. It is not named after named the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet. It is named after a city and the name was changed after one the big three claimed the name for there midsize cars to a country. I think that lets to the correct name. Keep in mind it isn#t that easy because all of these cars share the same body.

This was a not so easy one. Frank Reisner founder of Intermeccanica had started build cars in the 1950's. In conjunction with Jack Griffith Intermeccanica build the Griffith. It had its formal coming-out party at the 1966 New York Auto Show, and as with the Apollo a couple of years earlier, the initial press reports were glowing. The Griffith was fresh and innovative with a sleek body and powerful drive.Unknown to Intermeccanica, Jack Griffith’s company was in financial difficulties and a new partner, Steve Wilder, decided to take over the project. Calling the car the Omega, Wilder had them assembled in North Carolina.Frank Reisner from Intermeccanica developed a new classic that was based on the original Griffith bearing the name Torino — later re-branded as the Italia.This highly successful vehicle caught the eyes of discerning car lovers. The Italia was the perfect name for the elegant, sexy sports car, and one North American consumers would immediately fall in love with. Basically we are speaking about the same car with different names. 1. Griffith 600 - It seems that only 2 cars delivered with engines (1x ford, 1x Plymouth) 8 -12 were sold without engines 2. Omega GT - Successor of the failed Griffith 600 with Ford engine. Only 33 were ever build 3. Intermeccanica Torino - Third time of the old Griffith 600. 97 were build until Ford got a trademark on the name Torino for their midsize cars. The red car from the quiz was for sale at the Techno Classic fair in essen/Germany this April. It wasn't sold 4. Intermeccanica Italia - Last of the the old design. No changes compared to the Torino 411 build cars. With this interesting history in mind I gave you the following hint: ".... it is not named after a mythical creature know s a half-eagle, half-lion in various cultures. It is not named after named the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet. It is named after a city and the name was changed after one the big three claimed the name for there midsize cars...." This means it is not a Griffith 600 it is not a Omega GT and it is not a Intermeccanica Italia. It is a Intermeccanica Torino build from 1968 - 1970 So with a little help the following member got it rigth: Matt Bacon Ace-Garageguy Richard Bartrop otherunicorn TarheelRick DonW thatz4u Congratulations

This was VW failed attempt to build a light commercial that is cheap and easy to maintain for third world countries. Failed because in those countries they want no special build third world commercial. Market leader in those countries was the Toyota Hiace. This is the EA489 Basistransporter or T200 or Horminga (Ant) build from 1975 - 1979. Powered by a Beetle engine, build in German and Mexiko. In Turkiye the used a better looking VW Type 2 cab.

Before AC delivered bodies to Shelby American in the early 1960's they build this overpriced, not that attractive looking coupe. It was more expensive than a Jaguar XK150. Only 82 AC Greyhound plus 1 prototype were build between 1959 and 1963. They were powered by a 2.0l AC 6 cyl. or a 2.0l 6cyl. Bristol engine. Lat the Bristol engine was replaced by a 2.6.

This time the car in question is a 1970 Gilbern T11. The car was designed by Jimmy English not by Trevor Fiore who is sometimes mentioned as the designer. The low roof line, the concave hood or the big panel at the rear would got his approval. Initially a 6 cylinder BLMC engine was planed, but British Leyland didn't supply the engine therefore an Austin Maxi 1500 cc 4 cylinder was used.
