A U.S. VW-based kit car?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on November 02, 2010, 04:39:28 PM
Not American but it is European

Bizzarini?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on November 08, 2010, 11:04:57 AM
Much less exotic and quite obscure

Do the pros know?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on November 26, 2010, 01:12:24 PM
Time for a clue - this car shares it name (almost) with another sports racing coupe that looks similar
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 02, 2010, 05:58:41 PM
The name starts with E

Is it Italian?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: Aaron65 on December 02, 2010, 06:04:12 PM
Is that name Elva?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 02, 2010, 06:11:13 PM
No to both - it's not Italian and it's not Elva
It almost shares it's name with another British GT that has been solved some time ago on AutoPuzzles.
Begins with E and is six letters long......

Esprit.
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 02, 2010, 06:19:41 PM
Sorry but not that
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: Djetset on December 02, 2010, 06:34:02 PM
Europa
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 03, 2010, 03:04:19 AM
Not Europa

I should explain that it almost shares the same name of the marque, not model, of another British GT coupe

Like Excell?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 03, 2010, 08:18:28 AM
Like Excell or like Elva, etc. but not these.
Another clue - the name is 6 letters long - starts with E and ends with N
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 03, 2010, 10:46:25 AM
Eyston?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 03, 2010, 11:27:51 AM
The first and the last two letters are correct - i.e. ExxxON
It is I guess quite obscure and only one was built
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: Djetset on December 03, 2010, 11:47:44 AM
Edison?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 03, 2010, 11:50:49 AM
Not that I'm afraid.
Another small clue - it was built in 1969
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: Allemano on December 03, 2010, 11:52:31 AM
Was it ever completed?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: Iluvatar on December 03, 2010, 11:58:20 AM
A shot in the dark:
Emerson?
MPC
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 03, 2010, 12:32:55 PM
As far as I'm aware it was completed and was probably raced in British club events - but don't quote me on that - I'm still researching all these obscure sports racing marques.
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 03, 2010, 12:35:28 PM
Iluvatar - you are very close!
You have one letter too many.
I'll lock it for you until your next reply then I'll have to open it again if the answer is incorrect.

By the way, what does MPC mean?
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: Iluvatar on December 04, 2010, 04:26:58 AM
...Emeron????...

M.P.C. is my name... ;)
Title: Re: MJW #067
Post by: woodinsight on December 04, 2010, 11:20:23 AM
Well M.P.C. (Iluvatar) you have just won another point!

My earlier hint of it nearly sharing a name with another marque was aimed at the Emery.
It even looks a bit similar.
Whereas the last Emery was completed in 1966, the Emeron was built in 1969 by Lawrie Webber and Peter Clarke in London.
If I find more information on the car I'll post it here.

Post by: Iluvatar on December 07, 2010, 08:19:45 AM
I never heard about this car...
Maybe I don't merit this point... :-[ ...  ;)
MPC

Post by: woodinsight on December 07, 2010, 11:10:48 AM
Well nobody else seems to know and I decided that to solve it in another way (like my LVT) otherwise it would have sat in the Black Hole to nobody's benefit.
You earned the point - don't worry  ;)
