What was wrong guys? Was the Puzzle too difficult or were you all too busy with preparing for Salon Rétromobile? We only received 2 answers for last week's quiz. Yes, only 2, while the week before we got 8 times that much. Do we need to give more hints perhaps? Please let us know.

Well, you are now wondering what the car was. We let Gerd Klioba tell you, as he had one of the two (both correct) answers: 'This is the Ghia Corrida, designed by Filippo Sapino. It was the first concept car based on the Ford Fiesta,  introduced at the Turin Motor Show in November of 1976. It featured pneumatically operated gull wing doors hinged in two segments and electrically operated flaps for the headlamps to provide optimal aerodynamics performance. The rear luggage compartment was hinged at the bottom, the lower part of the car's rear end could be locked in an open position to extend the carrying capacity. The orange and black  2+2 seater had an aluminium body.

Neil Beadle added  that Corrida means Bullfight in Spanish and explained more about the luggage space 'Featuring a two piece tailgate, the lower bumper section folded downwards increasing luggage space.'

Quite a genius car but unfortunately not that successful. Who were successful are Gerd and Neil, big applause for both of you. But there can be only one winner and that is Gerd, as he was the most precise in his answer. He will get the 5 points in the six months competition, sponsored by Hans Compter Rare Cars. Congratulations Gerd!
