Ok so this is one of those cars that you really love or you really hate. I really love them. I have had a few chances over the years to purchase one, but lack of space has always got in the way. This one is a great starting point and looks really solid. I know the owner of this car from various other websites and I am sure he hates to see it go. If you want something that not many people out there own there is your chance.
Just like a lot of kit cars out there, production numbers are all over the place. Some people will tell you 25 were made others will tell you 150. Whatever the number may be they are really cool. So if someone would like to “donate” one to Price of his Toys as a build project we would love it :)

I can’t help but see “Pantera” when I look at these from the sides and yes, if I lived different I would have one of these,
I remember hearing it was a take off the 1972 BMW Turbo Michelotti. One of the most interesting BMW concepts IMO the gullwing doors are cool.
I was always under the impression it was the M1 it was loosely based off of. I think they Turbo was way more aggressive
Google the pics for the BMW it’s really close . The BMW isn’t as chunky as the Aquila but the basic shapes are there.
Here is a nice link to the pics http://www.carstyling.ru/en/car/1972_bmw_turbo/
I like everything except. That chopped off nose. Just begs for a bit of cosmetic surgery. Looks like you ran into a block wall or something. The rest is pretty cool.
I own this car and still have it. I don’t know if I will ever have time for completion with other projects waiting in the garage. If someone wants to make a reasonable offer, please do! Contact me through my website contact page..
still have aquilla foe sale
Hey Shane. We do not sell the cars on the website. We post them when we find them on various websites.
