Why are you so sure ?

I couldn't find it in your book so I just assumed that it wasn't from Hungary.

Assumption is a dangerous thing so let's start again - Hungarian?

I have found a lot of new stuff recently and before I put out a 2nd edition of the book and publish my findings, I torment you with a few puzzles.

So, yes, this is from Hungary. And not impossible to solve. A small hint: the son of the builder was well-known.

Built by Ernö Rubik, father of the Rubik's cube inventor of the same name?

pnegyesi · December 29, 2011, 10:58:51 PM

No, Ernő Rubik sr only built gliders and participated in the official microcar initiative between 1953-1956.

This car was built later on.

Could it be Jozsef Horvath?
Not sure if it's his son but there is a footballer named Csaba Horvath and there is also a Csaba Horvath who is an Olympic sprint canoeist.
