British kit car of the 70's - reason for suggestion is the Vauxhall Viva in the background...

Post by: Paul Jaray on May 08, 2009, 11:54:10 AM

That looks like a Buick Skylark, circa 1977 (appx) behind it, so I'll start the bidding with this:

North American?

Giveaway week, Pt.2
This picture cames from an ads, where is written:  ______ kit car: make an offer.
The man who place the car also added that this car was made in Canada.

As this one has been asleep since January, I will try and wake it up by asking if this car could be a Cavano?
Title: Re: PJ - 107
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 10, 2010, 03:20:09 AM
Not a Cavano.
I can't give any more clues...only the name is missing and unfortunately even if I tell you that it sounds like a type of car (like cabraiolet) it won't help you much.
I'll post all I have but the name:

Wild guess time - Cabrio?
Title: Re: PJ - 107
Post by: Allemano on September 10, 2010, 06:20:13 AM
Kupé?
Title: Re: PJ - 107
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 10, 2010, 06:23:44 AM
I doubt it will lead you to the solution but...not cabrio or cupe (nor any of their possible derivates).
It's quite a formal body, but not a Sedan or Berline (or Town Car and Landaulette)  ;)

You are making it much too difficult.
Closed body, not a Coupe or a Saloon (aka Coach, Berline, Sedan, etc...)...what's left?
Title: Re: PJ - 107

and now?
Title: Re: PJ - 107
Post by: woodinsight on September 10, 2010, 01:06:26 PM
As the car appears to be in a French-speaking area of Canada, I wonder if the builder originally came from the French region of Limousin?
Limousin is my guess for the moment.
Title: Re: PJ - 107
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 10, 2010, 01:10:17 PM
Not Limousin.
The 1st half is correct.
Remember that it's not a word with a meaning...it reminds me Limousine, but it's (I believe) just a surname.
Title: Re: PJ - 107
Post by: woodinsight on September 10, 2010, 01:13:48 PM
Okay - I thought Limousin wasn't really the answer but I had to get that thought out of the way!
Perhaps just plain, simple Limo then?
Title: Re: PJ - 107
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 10, 2010, 02:22:24 PM
Not just limo.

Title: Re: PJ - 107

Limo---- Kit Car from Canada.

Limousine (with an 'e')?
Title: Re: PJ - 107

LimoXXXX.
Not Limousine.
In my clue I wrote that 'sounds like' and 'reminds me'...like Tourango can sound like Touring...not that close, but something like.

Thanks PJ - that was down to a process of elimination on my part, not by any insider knowledge I hasten to add.
Glad it is solved though - hate to see these obscurati in the black hole.
