2cv based?

[Paul Jaray]

I have few info about, but I suspect it is not 2cv-based.

[Paul Jaray]

This car is a sort of test-car for some elements the builder make for another car, quite known...

[Otto Puzzell]

Morgan?

[Paul Jaray]

Not Morgan.
A big help: the car for which these elements are tested is totally different from the puzzle car.

Dutch?

[Paul Jaray]

Not Duch.

[guido66]

German?

[Paul Jaray]

The ...builder... is German, the car that is going to use those parts isn't.

[Otto Puzzell]

Bentley?

[Paul Jaray]

Not Bentley, but the country is right.

Not Mini...

Rolls?

[Paul Jaray]

I missed your reply...sorry about that.
Not R-R.
It is a well known brand, these days in a really good shape.

[Allemano]

Aston Martin?

[Paul Jaray]

Not A-M.
This brand is British but the new owners aren't...

[Otto Puzzell]

Jaguar?

[Paul Jaray]

Not Jaguar...you heard a lot about it in the latest months for at least 2 different reasons...

[Otto Puzzell]

I guess that leaves Lotus?

[Otto Puzzell]

Maybe not.
