I´ll start on the pro level with this.
Any ideas?
The days of darkness are gone, the server problem seems to have been solved perfectly :applause:
Thank you all, Guys! Great job!
British?
Not British.
Here is the only other photo I have:
based on a rear engined VW?
Yes.
That was quite obvious. I have not the slightest clue what it is, though!
That´s why I´ve placed this at the pro´s level from the beginning. ;D
A Tony Lapine sketch?
I bet the people or the man who drew this design would be very proud if he´d know what you´ve said. :D
I´m quite sure it was an in-house design without much professional help from the outside.
Bruce Meyers?
Not him, but you´re on to something...
Mike Costin?
Not Costin.
American?
Not american and not british.
Does it come from a land down under?
Nope - much easier.
German?
German, yes.
HAZ?
No, this is no HAZ design.
Heinz Roehnert?
He did the Maplex and the Dingo?
No, not him and not one of the mentioned makes.
So, it's not a Bieber either?
Very good!
It is a Bieber design, indeed - but what´s it called?
Locked 24h for guido66!
I'll be offline from now until sunday. So one last wild guess before you can unlock it ;)
Bieber flügelturer?
No, it´s got a different name.
We know the manufacturer. But what was the name of this stillborn project?
Is it mentioned somewhere except in books?
I´ve scanned it from a Bieber brochure and do not know any other sources that are showing any pics or facts... ;D
Na großartig!
Well give me some minutes and I will scan the text sheet for all. This may help.
Here´s the text, but it will not help with the name...
Black hole sun, won´t you come...
voyage to nirvana ;D
Shouldn´t some of those hard nuts be just solved by the puzzle editor after some time?
To help with one of my oldest puzzles:
its name is a direct link to a famous place of motorsports.
Nürburgring?
Not german.
Le Mans?
Not really french.
Indianapolis?
(Spa) Francorchamps?
Spa and the Nürburgring are closest race tracks so far.
France was the closest country so far.
Monza?
Zandvoort?

Zolder?
should be further away from Germany then Spa as it is from France, surely?
I'd say Le Mans.
France and Italy are closest so far.
None of the tracks we´ve had so far is correct.
But now it is quite easy to solve the first part of the name... ;D
Not really a circuit but used for Grand Prix and historic events once a year - Monaco?
Or Montecarlo?
QuoteMonaco?
Correct!
Locked for you!
The second part of its name is just a common car type abbreviation.

Bieber Monaco Coupé prototype?
My mistake - GT perhaps?
You did hit quickly and hard - and achieved a goal.
Your point!
Now that it has a name nad can be found though search engines,
we hopefully might find an answer, if this has ever been
a finished car or it has eternally stayed in project state.
Not much new to add; just stumbled across this image and felt it belonged here.
That's the brochure I also got :)
Seems like those were the only ever published photos of a project that never made it into production...
