Such a shame that the Olgiata never made it to production, I agree with you totally David, a beautiful car and a missed opportunity!!

I ran an HPE2000ie for several years (bought for £125) and it was an absolute delight. Inevitably, especially given the purchase price, it succumbed to the rust bug, but it was remarkably versatile and always a pleasure to drive.

Don't think I've ever seen this car before. Has to be the most beautiful 'estate' ever. When you see a car like that it makes you wonder how it CAN'T be put into production. What were the reasons for supposing it wouldn't sell?
