A nice house.
For one point, please respond and tell me which car was built here.
A small one, I suppose....
Is it from Germany?
Not in Germany
I see some photoshopping on the side, close to the roof. Was there a clue there?
No, just a Street View imperfection
The house looks very French, so I assume we are looking for a French car?
Yes, this is a French house and we are looking for a French car.
One-off?
No

Sure, it looks just like my neighbours' house when I was a teenager...

The interesting things happened there when you just weren't a teenager anymore, and it was not in Niort.
was this a microcar?
No, the house ain't that small! :D
The first DB?
No, but another first.
was this a sportscar?
Yes
a GT-car or a true coupe?
It was used on road and track.

Niort? I left that place forever when I was only a month old, Wendax (apparently, there are too many infos about anyone of us on the internet...)
I have no idea about the place and car, though, but I 'd say it dates from the 1970s
Is it where Jidé cars were made, starting around 1969?
Right year, wrong make

You are even mentioned in the German Wikipedia!
Marcadier?
No
Gecem by Michel Pernoud, Annecy?
Neither Gecem nor Annecy
Georges Queron, St. Etienne?
No
BBM by Pierre Bertin-Boussu, Salouel-les-Amiens?
No, better known
Don't really know if it's better known but could it be BSH by Francois Benais & Max Saint-Hilaire at Issy-les-Moulineaux?
It isn't.
Vichy, Ligier?
Found it, Rue de Reims!
Yes! Give me the Ligier model built there and the point is yours. Locked for you.
Type JS1, according to Automobile Hors-Serie #31. ;)
Yes, this is the garage where Guy Ligier started building his cars.
One well-earned point for you.
Thank you, that was fun! :thumbsup:
It won't be the last puzzle of its kind. ;D
