Alfa Romeo Navajo (by Bertone) , one of a series of concept cars based on the Tipo 33 Stradale.

And here are some of the others -

Pininfarina Prototipo Speciale

Stadelo Cuneo (Pininfarina)

And this is what's underneath them all -

All of them just prove how perfect the 33 Stradale was, Franco Scaglione gave up designing cars after creating this masterpiece. Wonder if he’d have just kept doing slightly different versions of the same thing  each decade, too..

I had a Carabo many years ago, though I think it was lilac, not green. Oh and Bertone had outsourced its manufacture to a company called Matchbox.

Joss Car Indigo - 44 made in Sweden.

At first glance, I though it was a TVR Chimaera that'd got a new front end... 

And I oddly like that. 🤣

OK some more Alfa Romeo concept cars i knew nothing about. The 'BAT' series BAT = Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica. This was a joint project between AR and Bertone between 1953 and 1955, they had drag coefficients below 0.19 which would be an acheivement today never mind 60 years ago. The underpinnings came from the 1900 sereis

The donor. And

Clockwise, from the left - the 5, 7 and 9.

Alfa Romeo and Bertone showed a new BAT concept in 2008 the BAT 11 based on the 8C Competzione

Guess who at Bertone actually drew the BAT cars?  Yes that man Scaglione again!

That's really nice, and I've never seen it before either. Is it a factory job or something by Ooooley-ez?

Can anyone figure out what the car in white is?

Pretty sure it's a Xantia with a weird grille (mk3 Cavalier?) and various bits of oddness around the bumper/lamps

Looks a bit like the Japanese Dome Zero from the late 70s. I remember reading about it in an old issue of CAR but I gather it's had a resurgence of interest after appearing in a couple of driving games.

A Citroen Xantia I'd wager? With a modified front end.

New Suzuki Swace: a Corolla estate Touring Sports by any other name. Will it flop like the Kizashi??
