Coupe Outline Image, Line Drawing

[Cornishman]

I need a little help here please. I’m sure that I have seen a line drawing of the outline of an E9 which is a representation of the shape. I think it was on a membership decal or club webpage, but I feel I have seen it in many places. It was a simple but nice flowing image, rather than a detailed drawing.
Can anyone help me find it please?
Thank you

Thanks Thomas, that’s nice, but not the one I remember.
I’m thinking les accurate and more a representation. Worse case I will have to get creative and try to design one.
Perhaps a small. Competition between us all?…

There are a number of such images on the web, some for sale, other vintage and free. Here are a few I found. Perhaps one is what you were thinking of. I'm partial to the Road and Track drawings from 1970.
There's actually a nice scan of that article on our site along with another review article from 1972 with a great drawing of the front of an E9. Here's the link to that post.

Perhaps Mo @m73 has something

I'm sure this is what you are looking for. Yes, I failed graphic design. No, the kids or dog didn't draw this. It will be worth millions some day...well, maybe .01 cent.

No, I think I know the drawing you are talking about. Was it in motorsport colors, very simple lines? I thought maybe it was on an older BMW CCA grill badge, did a search and all the designs that come up are the ones already posted for the shirts. I'll keep looking...

Sure, I may have something....depends on what you are using it for...?

Gotta say that is a pretty darn good rendering of a Kia Ioniq!!!

not what you were looking for but this is my drawing…

I had a great drawing of a Coupe but it rusted.

Believe it or not, I can actually draw pretty well. At least I used to, always got A's in art class. I of course did that as a joke in 2-seconds. If I get a wild hair I will take my time with a rendering. Maybe motivate me to start painting again as well. It's been a while and I miss it.

That's pretty cool Chris, is that a wire sculpture on a wall?

 

[tdgray]

Little bit of a wide shot and pardon the mess but yes... Wall art

Drawn a coupe before... but prefer brushes

Wow, heaps of excellent contributions, thank you.
Here is what I had in mind, I’ve joined a club that mostly helps others and I’ve been learning to use a CAD system to draw and then send a cut file to a CNC router, here are some examples of what I’ve made.
I would like one for myself and thought an E9, cut into some nice wood, would be perfect. So I wanted to find a suitable image to import and perhaps modify, then keep it at home. Location tbc
The above E9 side drawing is probably the closest to what I had in mind, but ideally it would have Alpina wheels like my own car. However, the T shirt drawing with no wheels is growing on me.
Does anyone have these files that I could convert to a vector drawing?

Ps, I love the wire garage art, I will have to try and do a version of that with paint in my garage, just need to order a skip first to make space to see the walls.
