For one point, please tell me the make and model name of this vehicle, plus if possible what it is based on.

Fiat 500 Jolly.

( although I expected to see wicker seats in it )

Based on a late '60s Fiat 500 ( the earlyer ones had a shorter windshield, the later ones a different emblem)

Edit.

Whoa... I might be way off...
Is that a 2 seater?

Djetset

Sadly not, as this car is not what it might first seem!

Is this at least based on a Fiat as it appears to be?

No, not a SEAT either. 

To help everyone oout, I should mention that the headlamps, tail lights and wheel caps are all genuine Fiat 500, bit nothing else on this car is!

Getting closer.  Do you know who it's made by though?

Not yet - I took a wild guess on the golf buggy idea.... Found some interesting examples but none with a fiat styling yet  ???

I'm moving this baby on.  I must also say what a cool looking office behind the car.  If you can tell me what the car is, plus who works in this office, I'll give you an extra point as I'm feeling generous today!

Hmm I saw this very car at this very location at the Goodwood Revival last year. Stupidly, I didn't enquire any further...

Djetset

Right location, but wrong investigation!  It just proves that it pays to be vigilant at all times.

It's an electric replica, but I can't find who made it. All I have is "Electric Replica (or Replicar) Fiat Jolly".

As for who works there, we have, for instance Janet Bradley, Chris Salmon or Gary Axon.

Well, you may not know the name of the maker, but I am giving you a point for your Sherlock Holmes-like detective work on the office location and who works in it. 

The building pictured is the Motor Sport Competitions Office at the Goodwood Motor Circuit in England where a certain part-time Autopuzzler works occassionally, when he's not trying to solved mystery car puzzles.  His name appears on your list, so it's not Janet, nor the fishy one!

So I guess we know him by the name of lynxd67.
Which doesn't help me find the one for the car.

If only I could make out the writing on the "license plate"  :-[

It's the Jolly Golf Buggy by Model-Tech Studio Ltd

 :o I just see a bunch of pixels  ;D

Djetset

Studhamsmudger has excellent eye sight, as it is in indeed the Yamaha golf buggy-based Jolly by Model-Tech Studio, of Bognor Regis in England.

Wasn't I to receive a point for this one? (see your Reply #15)
