I think I detect a hint of Moretti in there perhaps with a non-Italian body.....

Not Moretti and non-italian body.

Possibly Fiat-based then with a Spanish body?

Post by: Paul Jaray on January 01, 2012, 10:32:21 AM
It is fiat based (and a Topolino, als15  ;) ) but not from Spain.

Another try - Josef Scheiwiller of Zurich?
Title: Re: PJ - 433
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 05, 2012, 09:55:36 AM
Not him and not from Zurich...

Post by: Paul Jaray on January 14, 2012, 04:41:13 AM
Time for a BIG clue, but otherwise this may be too hard:
We already had a car built by a man with the same last name, same country, same donor (bigger model, same brand).

Karl Schneider?
Title: Re: PJ - 433
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 14, 2012, 05:59:31 AM
Schneider is correct...but it's not Karl!
Just a name is missing, who'll be 1st?
Title: Re: PJ - 433
Post by: woodinsight on January 14, 2012, 10:33:36 AM
Do you mean Schneider-Fiat?
Title: Re: PJ - 433
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 14, 2012, 10:47:13 AM
This car was built by Xxxxx Schneider, not Karl, from a Topolino in 1954.
