Those look like Jaguar instruments on the dashboard. Is that relevant?

Any relations to Kougar?

Post by: grobmotorix on January 24, 2012, 02:55:14 AM
No, but the basis car is british, too.

No Jaguar and older than the Kougar´s Jag components.

From what little I can see of the car it looks like one of Edsel Fords creations... or a copy of.

Is it from one of the Benelux countries?
Title: Re: grob 2012_12_12 (04)
Post by: grobmotorix on May 29, 2012, 04:19:47 AM
No. The bodywork comes from a different country than the chassis.

This car is a bit of a problem to me.

I had gathered a small brochure of it last year that has shown some more details.
Now I cannot find this brochure any more.
And my HDD had a problem in the week I´ve posted this one, so there´s no scan any more, too. :bag:

As far as I can remember this conversion was planned to be built in a small series.
A new pre-war style body (as can be seen in the puzzle pic) on a common basis car...

I cannot find any details to be honest, but I can remember the chassis.

Maybe we can find out together... :-\

It is a special, based on a Rover P2-16 from 1947, currently for sale in Germany. So I guess it is a German conversion.

Post by: grobmotorix on June 04, 2012, 01:19:02 PM
This is exactly the car.
I still was not able to find the brochure.
Maybe someone will find out the name/company of the builder.

But the point is definitly yours.
