1 point for correctly identifying this car:

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

it looks like Alfa Romeo wheels, some sort of Fioravanti concept?

Don't believe Fioravanti was involved, no.
But I'll check tomorrow to make sure and if any different I'll let you know!

And for the Alfa Romeo part? Is it a good lead? Because that looks Italian...

No, there's no connection with Alfa Romeo.
Have checked and can't find any reference to Fioravanti either, so pretty sure he wasn't involved.
And it's not an Italian car.
So it's back to the drawing board!

I was wrong with the wheels, that's lada Niva's wheel!

Is it the base of the car, or they just borrowed the wheels?

You've got the right car, so I'll lock it for you to come up with its correct full name before I can give you a point and move it to solved.

Here's another picture whilst we're at it:

Well, yes - that's what you said before but you've added the 4x4 bit that's written on the side..

But what is it a developent of? It has a full accurate model description.
I'll keep it locked for you to have another try..

darkface · November 24, 2011, 08:45:05 AM

I've never heard any other description, maybe NAMI-LuAz "Proto"

No; it's numbers.
Go backwards..
It's yours for 6 hours for one last chance then it's open again.
