Title: SOLVED - Geraldo´s #80 - Ihms
Post by: jotage21 on July 19, 2009, 12:27:26 PM
Which car is this?

Post by: Carnut on August 04, 2009, 01:52:29 PM
Clenet (Mercedes-Benz 540K lookalike) made in the USA in the mid to late 1970s/early 1980s and based originally on a Lincoln chassis and drivetrain.

So it must be a Corsair

Well you do surprise me.
It looks exactly like a Corsair but with a Clenet badge...
It can't be a Wasil can it?
Title: Re: Geraldo´s #80
Post by: jotage21 on August 06, 2009, 03:48:02 PM
no. If I´m not wrong, the wings were bought from the person that produced the Corsair.

Well if it's neither a Roaring Twenties Corsair nor a Clenet then I regret to say I'm completely stumped.
Can't find anything that looks anything like close to those two, which look just about identical to your picture apart from perhaps the badge and wheels!
They all seem to be based around an MG Midget body and windscreen incl yours but can't identify it.

Could it be a Desande?
Title: Re: Geraldo´s #80
Post by: jotage21 on October 28, 2009, 12:38:30 PM
no. I think that Desande was British, this is an American one-off

I don´t remember exactly, I will look in the magazine as soon as possible, but I think that you are right
Title: Re: Geraldo´s #80
Post by: pnegyesi on January 13, 2010, 06:19:49 AM
Then my bet would be Steering Wheels
Title: Re: Geraldo´s #80
Post by: jotage21 on January 15, 2010, 01:02:34 PM
not a Steering Wheels, it´s a one-off. A clue: made by an architect.

Post by: Djetset on November 08, 2010, 08:22:40 AM
I guess that only four letters in the name, plus being a one-off, rules out the Sparks Turbo II?!
