Sergio Sartorelli: Designer of Dreams
Designer Sergio Sartorelli was born in Alessandria in 1928; he took the degree in Mechanical Engineering at the “Politecnico” of Turin and soon became interested in cars.
Ford Osi 20M TS Coupé
In 1965 Ford Europe decided to put an innovative coupé car into works, for which, however, took a few years of study and preparation. In the meantime, domestic and foreign competing companies were gaining ground in the sports car sector which, although limited in sales numbers, had very important reflections on the brand image. It was therefore necessary to find a temporary solution that would allow Ford to maintain its sporty prestige, at least until the new “Capri” model was ready.
Vehicle Overview
The Ford Osi 20M TS Coupé was the solution to this problem and was commissioned to the Turin coachbuilder OSI. Sergio Sartorelli, who also designed the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34, was responsible for the design in 1965. The vehicle was technically based on the Ford 20M and was manufactured between 1967 and 1968. 870 Ford Osi 20M TS Coupé with two-liter V6 engine and 409 with 2.3-liter V6 at prices of 14,900 DM and 15,200 DM admitted in Germany. In 1968 OSI went into bankruptcy. A convertible version appeared at the 1967 Paris Salon which remained a unique piece.
