[quote V5U9Q7FRSF05JKAA]Love that render of the P76 David. What a shame the real car didn't look like that!! Just shows how the clumsy looking original should have been refined before going into production.[/quote] Agree totally, Bill04. In fact, in the January 2024 edition of Retroautos I'm showcasing the work of Romand Rodbergh, who was BMC Australia's design manager in the 1960s. Romand sketched the first proposals for the P76 and Force 7. With the AI I've been able to re-construct the various proposals he submitted. Here's just one of Romand's many original sketches, from late 1969, of the Force 7 and the AI enhanced version. The main theme of my story is that Romand's ideas were basically ignored, and hence we got the Italian styled P76.
