For 1 point, what is this car and when was it built?:

1972 La Romer

Yes, it's the 1972 Renault-engined Romer built by Bernard Mermet.
I'm surprised this one went so easily as it seems to have had almost no publicity.
Did you see it on desplay at Paris Retromobile?

Here's a front view:

Ah Carnut, if you had read a certain British Kit Car magazine that it very Complete (hint hint) you will have seen that I wrote a brief article about this car a couple of months ago.  ;)

Sorry to have missed that; you should have told me!
I'm sorry to say I don't buy any kit car magazines.
Since I get Autocar, Auto Express, Classic Car Weekly, Evo, Octane, Classic Cars, Classic & Sports Car, Auto Italia, Sprint and 'Ferrari' I don't have a lot of spare time left to live, never mind read kit car mags!!
