Fissore?

Quiller · April 11, 2009, 07:15:35 PM

Nor Fissore ...

This is based on the platform of the Renault R4 goes under two names; the Brissonneau & Lotz Torpedo, and Sinpar Torpedo for the 4x4 version.

Quiller · April 14, 2009, 03:06:04 PM

It is indeed Brissoneau's design, so you have a (well deserved) point.

But I'm going to keep the puzzle open because this design made production in another market under a different name - one point for the correct solution!

Djetset · April 14, 2009, 03:43:17 PM

Ophs, just noticed that Brissonneau should have two letter 'n's in the middle, but thanks for the point anyway. Both Brissoneau and Sinpar built and sold a number of these in France, but i have a feeling it might also have been made in Algeria or Morocco, but i can't recall which, not sadly the name of the car!

Quiller · April 14, 2009, 04:49:42 PM

Thanks for your erudite response! (Just for the record, it's not Algeria or Morocco)

Djetset · April 24, 2009, 09:41:50 AM

Not sure if there's still another point up for grabs here, but to answer your question, this was also made by Renault in the Philipines in small numbers, in addition to the French Sinpar and Brissoneau Torpedo S versions.

Quiller · April 24, 2009, 03:08:12 PM

Philippines is correct! But do you know its local name? Will hold it for you for 48 hrs

Djetset · April 25, 2009, 07:51:05 AM

I only know that it was built by Renault Philipines, as the only other name mentioned on the leaflet was 'Jeep.'

Quiller · April 25, 2009, 01:44:41 PM

It does have a unique name. Anyone?

Quiller · May 13, 2009, 05:50:36 PM

Pro time

Arunas · July 15, 2009, 01:33:28 PM

It isn't Sakbayan is it?

Quiller · July 15, 2009, 03:12:41 PM

No, but some of the letters of the name are the same!

João · July 17, 2009, 11:55:14 AM

Trakbayan?

grobmotorix · July 17, 2009, 06:18:02 PM

I think it was just called B.T.V., which stands for "Basic Transportation Vehicle" and was constructed and designed by Brissonneau and Sinpar for Renault of Phillippine
