Porsche 904 replica?
Experts?
let's start by the beginning... is it a Porsche 904?
It looks like it might be a Porsche 2000 GS.

How did you manage to find it?
"904 look alike" in bing...
made by by Otto Dättwyler
Ahh great! :)
I didn't know it's already a featured puzzle on some other website!
But the most important bits are missing.
What's the name of the builder?
What is the nickname? (which is in fact a pun of the builder's name ;))
Locked for you until your next reply!
Thanks for the front page coverage!
builder:
Otto Dätwyler Porsche-Garage

Yes and no. It's Otto Dättwyler's Porsche, but the name of the car is different and it's not mentioned on that website...
I'll give you a point for finding the right car, but leave it open for others to bring me the name of the nichname, agreed?
Found it too :-) "Porotto"

Perfect! :)
Well done! :applause:
It's the one Otto guessed on a passed puzzle. Now the car has been restored. It's finished except of the missing windows.

Looks like a Porsche 904 replica, probably based on a VW Beetle?

It was intended to look like a Porsche 904, but it's not VW-based.
It's a Porsche 356 SC built by Otto Dättwyler, and the car is named "Porotto"
But I'm afraid it's a repost since I found the above information through Google on ... autopuzzles.com!
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=20319.0
You're right, thanks.
That's because I had the spellilng as 'Poroto' and the builder's name with only one 't'... then it doesn't show up on a search.
I also searched for 'Peter' and 'Porsche Special' (as I had the builder as Otto's son Peter, but maybe that's wrong).
Anycase since it's quite a recent puzzle I'm going to have to merge it without points; sorry.
