Don't bank on it - these wheels were used by lots of manufactures and stylists of all sizes from garden shed to multi nationals. And Michael gives the clues, not us mere mortals... ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, don't feel bad about it! I did exactly the same thing when I first started following this thread many years ago. The rules are posted on the main header but if you just happen to come across the weekly post while browsing the site, it is easy to miss them. They are not referenced anywhere in the weekly post. Perhaps the moderator could include a link like this in the first post to help out newbies like yourself Quiz rules- Please read before posting - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsntrucks4you Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Let me give you a hint. The car that the car in question was based on, was specially designed for rally sport. They suffered from numerous problems such as the frame not being stiff enough, the cockpit being cramped and the V6 in the original cars having too high a centre of gravity. This particular car got a special body by a well know Carrozzeria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsntrucks4you Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) The solution for this One-Off quiz is 1971 Ford GT70 Ghia. This vehicle was build on the Ford GT70 rally car. Which suffered from numerous problems such as the frame not being stiff enough, the cockpit being cramped and the V6 in the original cars having too high a centre of gravity. This special GT70 was designed by Filippo Sapino at Ford Design Europe studio in Turin and realised by a newly acquired Carroizzia Ghia. The subsequent concept car was shown at the 1971 Turin Auto Show Car featured flat decklid and faux-fastback buttresses. The correct answer where sent in by DonW Brizio - (Sorry) dw1603 Richard Bartrop stitchup bobthehobbyguy GeeBee porschercr Earl Marischall Congratulation, well done.

Earl Marischal Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I knew it looked familiar but the colour put me off; I remembered it being in white. That would have been the original rally car. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been the original rally car. steve The GT70 rally car had a very different shaped bodyshell from the Ghia version of which only one was built. None of the GT70s ever rallied in anger because the handling was rubbish. Coincidentally the Ghia version appears in an article on prototype Fords in the latest Classic and Sportscar magazine along with a brief summary of the GT70.
