Can you identify this car? If so, don't hesitate - and tell me the name and the name of its builder so I can award you a well-deserved point!
Wow! :o
Yes! What a nice car! ;D
Experts?
modified Datsun?
Very far from it
African?
Again, very far from it
Does the nose hint to an Aldo Sessano design?
All I can say: very far from the truth

Poor Aldo Sessano would be absolutely horrified that anyone could think he could perpetrate such a crime against car design (although do follow your thinking...)!
I think it's from Soviet Union
there is a Moskvitch at the edge of the picture?
It is from the Soviet Union indeed

As a matter of fact, I quite like the looks of this one, but that has nothing to do with the bocanegra-style.
Professionals?
Is it Olympia? If so I'll give a full answer tomorrow.
No, it is not an Olympia
Safety car, right?
No, absolutely not. Once you found the other puzzle you are working on, you'll find this as well :)
It looks like VAZ 2106 based. Fistly I thought it is E.Chaplinsky's car, but having the picture of that one in front of me now it looks very different... Does this black front act as a crash protection as well?
There's very limited info available on this car, like name of builder, name of car and a city.
Latvian?
Nope
...and despite the resemblence, it isn't built by E.Chaplinsky, is it?
No, not by him
Is this car the only creation by its builder, maybe you know?
Most probably
Made in Moscow?
Nope
I think this is the same car, but unfortunately the caption doesn't reveal that much.

It is Olympia, which, according to Pal, isn't his puzzle car :( Notice the location of rear view mirrors. They're different.
I bet that – if different – these cars are at least related to each other!

I thinks so too, but still can't find anything.
Built by N. Nikolaevich maybe?
Yes!!!! Locked for you, so you can come up with its name. And solve another puzzle of mine :)

:D Lucky guess, well in fact I meant E. Nikolaevich, but somehow wrote
N., so it is by
N. Nikolaevic, right?
something like that :) You have 12 hours to find the car
May I ask one question? Is it from Moldova?
Nope. And you can ask any question you like :)
Then, I have to admit, I have no idea what it is :( Is it by Nikolai Nikolaevich?
& was it built in 1977?
I don't know the year and the guy had two first names, one of them started with N.
So is it free for all again?

Yes, why not :)
Summarizing:
Known facts are:
Name of builder: something like N. Nikolaevich / similar.
Name of the car: ???
Base of the car: unknown
Country of origin: not revealed yet.
Year: unknown.
City: ???
So is it from Russia?
Quote from: Arunas on June 10, 2010, 08:20:29 AM
[...] Nikolaevich, but somehow wrote [...]
Is the name exactly like that?
And this name is related to another puzzle of yours which is a ZAZ based car from some Russian city starting with "K"?
Err... apologize for the two-questioner..
Yes, it is related to the ZAZ-based car.
And yes, the name is S... N... Nikolaevich (written in Russia)
I have only one candicate, but...
it isn't Nikolai and is from Russia, right?
Yes
Let's make another guess: is the "S" for Stempovskij?
Absolutely not
It has become one complicated puzzle for me :D
So, to clear something:
Nikolaevich is the second name.
What does "S" stand for? First name or last name?
Oops, it was many years ago that I learnt Russian. So S is the family name and N Nikolaevich are two first names.
There was another Russian, S.... who was world famous for its political activities
N for Nikita? :D
Nope
Sakharov ?
Yes, Saharov N Nikolaevich is the builder. Now all we need is the name of the car :) Unfortunately you won't find the car if you search for the name of its builder

No, the name is featured on the original picture and it is not in the text.
