As far as I know it's the personal project of one single (mad) man, but was sponsored by several companies.

Magnus?
The taken pictures are made by a man called Magnus, but he's not the builder/designer of this monstrosity.

Last call before I move it to the BH

ÅTTAHJULIGA Golfen ??

Not the name I have. I'm not sure if this mongrel has a certain name at all.
I want the builder's name for a point.

Only a few words are needed and maybe a little help of Google's translator (if you aren't a native speaker)
Then it should be (one of) the first search result(s).

Prexis? Regno?

No.

I need a fore- and a surname.

I've gone through the whole thread with those photos, but couldn't find any mention of the builder (apart from the city he lives in).

Allemano · February 03, 2010, 06:22:32 AM

I've checked it on myself if I could find the car/builder on the internet without knowing anything except what's written/shown here on this topic:
1. I've googled in Swedish.
2. I've searched after the distinctive/odd details of the car in combination with make and sponsor which were already figured out.

Google shows me on the first result all I want to know to solve this puzzle.

ImpishGrin · February 03, 2010, 07:07:42 AM

I'm either stupid or blind, cause I can't see it.

Allemano · February 03, 2010, 07:11:15 AM

okay, then we do it together step by step:
The car is sponsored by? .......................................

ImpishGrin · February 03, 2010, 07:16:32 AM

A few companies, the only name that was mentioned explicitly is Lesonal.

Allemano · February 03, 2010, 07:20:45 AM

Not that!
In Paul Jaray's post #20 another name is mentioned...

ImpishGrin · February 03, 2010, 07:26:57 AM

If you mean the Bilsport magazine, then it wasn't a sponsor. The car just won their contest.

Allemano · February 03, 2010, 07:36:49 AM

Err, than it was a misinterpretation from my side... :-\
Apologize!

No problem :) I used the Bilsport name in my searches too. Bilsport, Golf, gullwing and eight-wheel (in english as well as swedish) - still nothing :(

Edit: Ari Koskinen :D

I was using åttahjulig in my searches, while it should have been 8-hjulig :)

Allemano · February 03, 2010, 07:49:59 AM

Right you are. Ari Koskinen was the name I was after. One point for PJ and one for ImpishGrin.
