let's start by the beginning... is it a Porsche 904?

RayTheRat · May 01, 2012, 07:06:17 PM

It looks like it might be a Porsche 2000 GS.

How did you manage to find it?

Julien1A · May 04, 2012, 04:51:58 AM

"904 look alike" in bing...

made by by Otto Dättwyler

Allemano · May 04, 2012, 05:03:29 AM

Ahh great!

I didn't know it's already a featured puzzle on some other website!

But the most important bits are missing.

What's the name of the builder?
What is the nickname? (which is in fact a pun of the builder's name

)

Locked for you until your next reply!

Allemano · May 04, 2012, 05:05:33 AM

Thanks for the front page coverage!

Julien1A · May 04, 2012, 05:06:47 AM

Yes and no. It's Otto Dättwyler's Porsche, but the name of the car is different and it's not mentioned on that website...

I'll give you a point for finding the right car, but leave it open for others to bring me the name of the nichname, agreed?

Julien1A · May 04, 2012, 05:14:24 AM

Found it too :-) "Porotto"

Perfect!

Well done!

It's the one Otto guessed on a passed puzzle. Now the car has been restored. It's finished except of the missing windows.
