That's what I was after!
Well done.

A rear view (personally I think it needs slightly wider rear wheels..):

I think it'll be a really nice looking car when properly restored.

Carnut · « **Reply #17 on:** October 08, 2012, 10:55:30 AM »

No pictures of the restored car yet but here are some of it in the 1960s and as it is at the momenht:

pnegyesi · « **Reply #22 on:** April 02, 2018, 09:32:01 PM »

Well, well. This car may be a repost, but I have the name of the builder and he gave another name to this car. So I don't want to merge it. Because it was known as something else.

Carnut · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2018, 04:11:03 AM »

Was it originally called the TRP Special?
It seems to have been built by a student, but I haven't found his name yet.
Were TRP his initials?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #24 on:** April 03, 2018, 04:22:58 AM »

no, his initials were HV
