    Can anyone identify this car for me? Pic sent from Gold Coast Festival of Elegance (won by black Fiat 124 spider, which won AutoItalia in Canberra a couple of weeks ago).
    I was thinking Lancia, but now doubting that?

    The grill gave it away for me it’s subtle but nothing quite looks like a Monteverdi it’s so well done

    I came in late and couldn't believe the OP's lack of knowledge......Lancia,give me a break..:D

    Those even more knowledgeable will note the AC 428,the Monty ^^^,Maserati Mistral and a lesser known marque,Glas,were all designed by Frua.

    A check of him ^^ will show many similarities.

    The Wikipedia article referred to it as a Monteverdi High but the correct spelling is Hai

    The picture is not of a Monteverdi Hai

    This is from one of my books

    Yeah, yeah I know - big fail! At least I know where to go to get the answers :cool:
    Oh and when I did some investigation (once I'd been told where to look), the car in the pic I believe is not a Frua body, but the later Fissore BUT if somebody wants to check and confirm/deny I'm happy to be corrected.
    Thanks to all for the help!
