One-off?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on September 12, 2010, 07:51:57 AM
Not a one-off and not exactly VW-based..
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: Arunas on September 12, 2010, 09:10:27 AM
British?
Title: Re: GG-196

Porsche based?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: Arunas on September 12, 2010, 01:32:18 PM
Carlton-related?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on September 12, 2010, 01:39:10 PM
Not British, not Carlton related but Porsche based indeed, if I understand my source correctly.

Looks as though it could be a modified Belgian Apal
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on September 13, 2010, 02:00:30 PM
It's not from Belgium and I don't think there is an Apal connection, either.

Post by: woodinsight on September 13, 2010, 02:06:04 PM
Non-European perhaps?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on September 13, 2010, 02:24:39 PM
No, it is from Europe  ;)

Perhaps another photo will help:

Deutsch?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on October 14, 2010, 05:22:26 PM
Nein, nicht Deutsch.
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: Allemano on October 14, 2010, 05:24:30 PM
Austrian?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on October 14, 2010, 05:38:33 PM
Not from a German speaking country
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: Allemano on October 14, 2010, 05:50:51 PM
Northern Europe?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on October 14, 2010, 05:59:12 PM
Yes

Post by: Limo on October 23, 2010, 11:17:31 AM
It looks a bit like a car that was for sale in Germany, half a year ago. It was a 1967 unknown Volkswagen based kitcar, build and imported from Sweden.
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on October 23, 2010, 12:50:28 PM
There's one difference: this one is not unknown  ;)

Mellberg?

Post by: guido66 on April 02, 2011, 05:32:03 AM
No, not that.
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: woodinsight on April 02, 2011, 05:51:59 AM
Am I correct in thinking it is from Sweden?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on April 02, 2011, 05:59:57 AM
Yes, it is Swedish
Title: Re: GG-196

Perhaps 2 more photos will bring this puzzle back to life?  ;)
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: DeAutogids on May 19, 2011, 04:51:53 PM
It's a Peugeot! (in the background)

Does it say "Elva"?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on May 19, 2011, 05:10:18 PM
Not an Elva. I cannot read what's on the car, but it doesn't appear to match the name of the car.

MFI Malmo FlygIndustri 1965 Sweden
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on May 20, 2011, 01:38:13 AM
Not the name that I have for it.

Post by: pnegyesi on May 20, 2011, 01:40:11 AM
Were the current pictures taken at Hofsnäs?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on May 20, 2011, 04:09:47 PM
I don't know. I can find the source of the recent photos anymore. The older photo is still out there.
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: pnegyesi on May 24, 2011, 04:09:49 AM
Volkswagen based?
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on May 24, 2011, 01:04:37 PM
In the beginning I answered that it was sort of Porsche based. The only remaining source is not clear about this (or it must be and my poor knowledge of Swedish)  ;)

Anyway, I found another photo and 3 sketches
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: pnegyesi on May 24, 2011, 01:11:04 PM
Thank you. It is now clear. It was called the Cobble Special, based on a Porsche 356
Title: Re: GG-196
Post by: guido66 on May 24, 2011, 01:17:02 PM
I'm not certain about the Porsche 356 part (Google translation is a bit unclear) but you've got it! Well done  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: GG-196 Cobble Special
Post by: Paul Jaray on May 25, 2011, 11:18:50 AM
Finally!
Can you post the unaltered pic?
Found it, thanks!
Title: Re: GG-196 Cobble Special
Post by: Arunas on February 14, 2014, 02:37:22 PM
Information about who and when built these two (or more??) cars would be appreciated!
