A big city (over 1,5 million people)?

Allemano

Not a city as such. Think a little bigger...

Wendax

So it is an aristocratic home (Castle, Manor, County House etc.) somewhere in the beautiful landscape, hidden between heath, hill and hedges. And all we know is that its name has something in common with a Corvette custom car pretending to play the title role in "Jaws IV".  :sigh:

The car was customized by someone not unknown to attentive autopuzzlers.

The picture of the location shows an aristocratic building somewhere in Great Britain.
Asked for is not the buildings name, but where it's located. It's not a city and in a certain part of GB you find 32 of them...

So it is Darnaway Castle in County of Moray and the Corvette Moray, from which a modern interpretation was done by Ital Design.

Very good! :applause:
Tell me the name of the cutomizer and two well deserved points are yours.

Wendax

I only could find the name Joel Rosen in connection with Moray. Is it him?

The plate in front of the car names someone else..

I lock this for you for 72 h as you've found almost everything required for this puzzle.

Wendax

Is the Marseillan "place" something particular in the picture like the Chateau d'If or something more general like the Provence?

pnegyesi

Well, as I agreed with Allemano that I can't solve this one, I may as well answer. It is a particular place on the picture (just like the Chateau d'If)

Since I'm absolutely not into American custom cars, you can unlock this puzzle. I just know a few customizers like George Barris, Dean Jeffries or the Alexander Brothers, and I have no idea who could it have been and who not. Perhaps someone else knows something about the Moray.

Okay Wendax, let's be fair.
I give you one point for the work you've already done. I give another easy point to the one who gives me that missing name....

Pal is right though it might be a little red herring ;D. On the other hand it's indeed a little more general..

Wendax

Thank you (for the point, not for the herring)  :hail:

It would be easier to look at that "place" from a different angle...

I give it away now:

The final combination:
Place #8 Golfe du Lion matches with car # 15 Airconcept Lion

Airconcept Lion and Golfe du Lion
Easy after all, eh?  :D

One tiny little point is still available!

Wendax

At least, I've learned a lot about Marseille these days.  :D

Allemano

Come on custom car fans!
It can't be that hard anymore.

Wendax

Well, it seems to be up to me  ;)

Was the Corvette Moray made by Boyd Coddington?
