Fraser Nash Sebring?
No sir.
Hi, that is a Caron-Bouvot Sport Monopole from 1954
Yep!
What's this car, what powers it and from when does it date?
For 1 point...
It looks like a Ferrari Testarossa, probably a rebodied Testarossa , no ?

It can't be so tough Zanza as you found it in mintues.
As a matter of interest, how did you find it?
No links allowed, you are right.
Possibly, because it is a repost: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=2640.0
(And why is it in 2007?)
Now that's it's solved, it can be merged.
DeAutogids:
Elsewhere in AutoPuzzles, a recent point of discussion has been the possibility of posting long solved puzzles (like this one from 2007) as new puzzles, and then merging when they are complete.
It seemed to be a mostly well-received idea.
Found with some luck as the windshield of your pic sports a sticker color which reminded me of pictures I had taken in an exhibtion and where some exceptional cars were for renting.... Found the website of the renter and that was done ;)

1954 Caron-Bouvot Sport Monopole Simca 1200
:applause: Perfect !
Another point for you! :)
Merged again
I was 99% certain this was a re-post, but I searched several times for "Simca Caron Bouvot" and "Simca Caron-Bouvot" and nothing came up!
That's because "Simca" was not mentioned in the original puzzle title...
You MUST search for the right thing to get a result!!
I often think about how many time it would take to merge all still un-merged topics.... :-\
I've said it before - it would help to have a standardised format for puzzle titles. Maybe a sequence of fields for date, maker, engine source, body type etc..
Having said that, it's all too late !

I didn't search for Simca, and found it immediately. I posted elsewhere the search string to find most any thread in AutoPuzzles. I don't recall where, so I'll tell you again:
Using Google or Bing (or Yahoo, which is realy Bing with a different wrapper), use the following search string:
site:autopuzzles.com NameOfThingYouAreLookingFor
NameOfThingYouAreLookingFor should be replaced with the car, person, or other subject you are looking for. And don't run the words together, like I did.
You may have to adjust the search by adding or deleting words, but it works virtually every time. I searched on just the word 'Bouvot' and found it straight away.
Try it - you'll like it!

That would take almost as much time as renaming all of the puzzles per a standard format. ;)

Would be a nice job for banned members to get full reputation.. ;D
Excellent idea! ;D
It was my fault for including 'Simca'. Once you include an extraneous word you won't get the result however you do it. I should have just put 'Caron' and I would have got it, but I'm a slow learner..!

Not as slow as me - the king of the reposters. One day, one day.......
What I should do is follow my own advice!
The advice I have given to puzzlers who ask is to give the absolute minimum number of words and preferably one which could be unique to that puzzle..
For instance if it's a Ford Fabmobile Super-Dooper Mk XII you're looking for, don't even include 'Ford' or anything other than just 'Fabmobile'. That way it will come up with just one result (or 2 if it's been re-posted!!)
There's nothing wrong with the Search facility at all in my opinion; it's down to what you search for and how the facility is used...

Well, there is at least one fault regarding the full text search. If the topic is very long, the search engine won't find words that are at the end of the topic. For example, try to search "Citeria". It won't show you my
Back to the egg - Brütsch puzzle as a hit, because Citeria is mentioned in reply #177.
