No cheating....

What car is this? It is a prototype, built in 1977.

I don't know, but is it either a BL (or whatever they were calling themselves that week :)) or a Sunbeam? The door handles and wheel trims look vaguely BL, but the overall shape look Sunbeam-ish to me.

Probably way off! :)
 
Looks like a prototype Citroen BX (without the body covers that almost covered the rear wheels)

Edit,,, after a bit of research, I can't believe who made this car. :shock:

(won't spoil the surprise though)

Very good, SS.

Does it have enough wheels?
 
Well done, you're right!

BUT, JJ was also right. Kind of.

AFAIR, the car was never put into production. But the design house that styled it made a few changes which, combined with a few styling cues from a Volvo project they worked on produced that car:

The bumpers and front indicator on the Tundra look similar to the ones on the BX.

Oh, the house that designed these?

Bertone.
