Can you name the make and model of this car?
It's called a Chameleon, but that's all I know.
The marque is Chameleon, yes - does anyone have any idea of the model name?
Chameleon Entreprise F-16
Any information is needed!

I need to get any accurate information about this car! PLEASE write me a PM, anyway..
Any more accurate information PLEASE! Anyone!
Relax! ::)
I understand your need of info, 'cause I'm interested like you in finding also the technical data, more pics and the story of every exotic car. When I'll back I'm going to buy the Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile, where I hope to find a lot of info. I will also look back in all the solved puzzles trying to add the info I`ve got...but:
why don`t you start a new topic where you ask all the other members to add pics or info to ONLY 1 car at the time? You can do that in this way: you can post a pic of 1 car an ask everybody to give you the info they got and when you'll be satisfied (if ever.....) you can move to the next. But It will take time, `cause probably not all of us have the time to look in their collections of magazines,book or whatever to provide you the info/pic you need.On the other and, most of us are afraid to give you the links from where all our puzzles comes. I'll be glad to give what I've got, but I need time. ;)

Great idea! And much more pleasant for everyone I think! ;)
I do have this book where this particular car (and many many others!) is described quite well, but on the fly I'm not willing to write down the whole description. Start a new topic and I'll work it out when the time is right.

I've got quite a lot of magazines and books to scan, after the Administrators solve me some issues about the copyrights....I mean, is it possible to scan a page from a book (writing the name,the author, the page and whatsoever) without breaking any rule?

I got this image from Alternative Cars magazine from the early 1980s. Unfortunately since then the sheer weight of books and mags has made my shelving system collapse, so I can't locate it for now, but if I sort things out I'll let you know

Please post anything You have and You know. Thank You !
Arunas,
Enterprise (GB) 1983-84
Chameleon Car Co, South Kensington, London
Coming from a company whose main trade was customising Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz models, the Enterprise F16 was an extremely bold attempt to revolutionise luxury saloon car motoring. Over a tubular space frame chassis, its aerodynamic 4-door bodywork was in Kevlar - the first 'production' car to use this material exclusively - and featured photo-electric cells in the roof to absorb sunlight to charge the battery. A sophisticated specification included Ferguson 4-wheel drive, ABS and a turbocharged V8 engine. After a showing at the 1983 Geneva Motor Show, a price of 42,000 pounds was announced but production never began.
