Solved: Wendax 190 - Lambretta-engined Peel prototype by Ernie Leece

[Wendax]

No, this is not a kumquat, although it is small and orange.

For one point, please respond and identify the car by telling its builder and its base.

[JMC]

From DDR? (Wartburg 353 Tourist in the background)

[Wendax]

You are right in identifying the Wartburg. But that was a misleading track 
It is not from the GDR.

[JMC]

Okay, it's RHD, just noticed.
UK?

[Wendax]

Yes, it is from the UK (to where Wartburgs were exported as Wartburg Knight, by the way).

Our experts will know

[Wendax]

Our experts were not interested, up it goes

[woodinsight]

Is this a prototype of a model that later saw production or was it a 'one-off'?

[Wendax]

As I understand it, it was a one-off.

[Paul Jaray]

It's a Peel prototype with a Lambretta engine..

[Wendax]

Tell me the name of the builder and the point is yours. Locked until your next reply.

[Paul Jaray]

I know it was owned at some time by Grant Kearney and I found a couple of pictures referring to it as Ernie Leece's Peel Prototype.
You can unlock it, I will need to much time. 

[Wendax]

I will unlock it, because Ernie Leece is the name I was looking for.

Another point for you, congratulations.
