Could it be that it is the first car from this country?

[Arunas]

Could it be that it is the first car from this country?

Really not. The feature I mean is not SO special, but is quite interesting.

Does it lack doors?

[Arunas]

Does it lack doors?

It's hard to tell, but I think it doesn't. However, it's not what I'm after.

[yves]

the first privately-made vehicle of this country ?

[Arunas]

the first privately-made vehicle of this country ?

It is self-built, but there's nothing about being "the first " or something.

[Paul Jaray]

Is it about its materials or construction?
Like the 1st car build with recycled materials or with pieces of different nature...

[Arunas]

Is it about its materials or construction?

Very well!

Like the 1st car build with recycled materials or with pieces of different nature...

... but this vehicle has nothing what can be said "being first", I suppose. The 2nd question is simple just like the answer. But I am going to give a point for it.

[Paul Jaray]

Plastic body?

[Arunas]

Plastic body?

Not plastic, but you're on a very good track with this guess.

[Paul Jaray]

One-piece body?

[Arunas]

One-piece body?

Not his.

[Otto Puzzell]

Perhaps the body is wood.

[Arunas]

Perhaps the body is wood.

It's the best guess yet, but still not correct.

[Paul Jaray]

Paper?

[Djetset]

Is the ID of the engine the gentleman sitting in the car (i.e. it is pedal powered?) and is the bodywork fabric?

[Arunas]

Paper?

Almost there. Locked only till your next reply.

[Arunas]

Is the ID of the engine the gentleman sitting in the car (i.e. it is pedal powered?) and is the bodywork fabric?

No, it is engine-powered, so you have to tell what engine did it use. Question about bodywork is locked for this moment. I haven't asked about the builder who is, I am almost sure, the man behind the steering wheel. It would be worth additional 2 points, but...

[Paul Jaray]

Paper?

Almost there. Locked only till your next reply.

Well, with paper I meant cardboard or millboard...

[Arunas]

Paper?

Almost there. Locked only till your next reply.

Well, with paper I meant cardboard or millboard...

That's correct! This car has a bodywork made of carboard! The first point is gone

[Paul Jaray]

..well I found both under the "cartone" translation...I'd go for cardboard.

[Arunas]

Who will take the rest points?
