Blade runner 'flying car' reference needed

I'm preparing to scratch-build one of the vehicles (flying or otherwise) from Blade Runner. However, I am having a difficult time finding references; would someone be able to assist?

Please note, I am not intending to build a spinner.
 
Cinefex Magazine if you can find a #9 issue(I think it is?).I might have an extra, but I don't have my magazines with me,they are away in storage.There was also a Japanese book that had I think the Spinner and other vehicals in it(blue prints).Other than that, there is maybe a Cinamaphotographer issue that might have some good photo references and then there is the DVD.Prettty much, most of what you are going to find are pictures references of the Spinner because it was so popular as well as "the Off World Blimp" and the miniatures of the buildings and city scape and probably some of the props.

fausus100, your bladezone link has some great pics of the 'Alfa romeo' vehicle, which helps quite a bit, thanks!

Andy, I'm not looking to build one specific vehicle; but rather a new design using all the BR vehicles as reference. Therefore, I would be interested in any reference pics you can offer.
 
Never seen pics of the Alfa before, cool. Has anybody ever ID'd it? Seems to use parts from the Tamiya 88mm (fenders) and maybe 1/12 Tamiya F1 rims.....or even built upon a Tamiya f1?

If you search the site youll find every conceivable shot of all the spinners that youll ever need.
Including both the full size and hero model versions.
 
Don't know if this helps, but here are some shot i took of my "Future Car" model.
(there's a story behind the making of this vehicle from Blade Runner & BTTF)

Look all the way through for a lot of good spinner and other flying vehicle pics. At the end there are also some great pics of the "Lobster Spinner".

Andy, thanks for the link and pics.

It is interesting to note -- the differences between the first pic and last pic of the 'Alfa' car; notice it seems that the '92' has been covered with a panel; perhaps they were worried it may be mistaken for another police car? Interesting none-the-less.

It looks like I have enough reference to begin my build, thanks to all that contributed! :thumbsup
 
When I visited the Bladezone website to view the images, I got a virus alert and Adobe Reader tried to automatically open a malicious file. Just FYI.
