I don't know this car, but I was wondering: is it Dutch?

Paul Jaray · August 04, 2009, 05:38:27 PM

I wonder if you knew it!
It is Dutch!

DynaMike · August 04, 2009, 05:59:37 PM

Somehow the guy and the houses look very Dutch... But still I have no idea what it could be (I only know in which province the car was registered).

Is it the 1954/55 prototype, called Shelter? The Shelter was built in Terborg by a Mr. van der Groot in two prototype versions and 4 of those that were supposed to be built in bigger numbers.

We had that one before, (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8159.0), this one is not a Shelter and not by Mr Van der Groot.

DynaMike · August 05, 2009, 10:01:17 AM

And actually the Shelter was built by A van der Goot, not Van der Groot

Internationale is my only shot yet. Is it home-made one off?

Paul Jaray · August 05, 2009, 11:59:44 AM

Home-made one off is correct.

That's correct...
this was an hard one!
'A very special vehicle. Mr Hoen with a car designed by himself .
Powered by a 200cc Sachsengine, gears from a motor bicycle.
Top speed was 60 km\h. It took two years of his spare time.'

Great! Never heard of this mister Hoen... What I'm surprised of is that this car still has got the old type of license plate (B-xxxxx, from the province Friesland). Since 1951 there was a new license plate system, and as far as I know the last provincial plates were used in early 1956 (e.g. there are some pictures of the very first Citroën DS19 in Holland with these plates).

For this I have a name of the builder, a place, a year an the engine.

Whats a Bi repost? a sexual confused puzzle?

Paul Jaray · November 12, 2010, 05:52:36 PM

Nope, a 2-time repost, or a tri-post if you prefer

Amsterdam · November 12, 2010, 05:57:53 PM

Merge it, if you please.
Grazie!
