Solved: Back To The Egg - The Brütsch puzzle

[Wendax]

It's group puzzle time again. I hope this one will drive you crazy!  :joker:

In the following you will see 40 closely related cars, some of which have been posted before. But some "solutions" to those puzzles were quite inaccurate. So instead of posting "I do know it better!!!" comments I decided to spend some time looking for pictures of these little beauties. Amongst them are prototypes, production cars and one-offs. All you have to do is to identify these cars correctly.

In order to prevent that some microcar buff like me grabs all points at once, you can only have a guess at one car at a time. After your post you have to wait for 24 hours before you can guess on another car.

As some of these cars are of the "It is either this or that" type, there will be no locks.

Points will be awarded after all eggs are eaten. Keep your sunny side up and have fun!

Egg 3: BRüTSCH ZWERG

[sixtee5cuda]

Egg 35: 1957 Brütsch Mopetta Roadster

[Wendax]

Egg 3: BRüTSCH ZWERG

The looks are very similar, but this one is not a Brütsch Zwerg. You can try again on this one, but remember that you have wait 24 h from your last egg post for a try on another egg.

[Wendax]

Egg 35: 1957 Brütsch Mopetta Roadster

It is closely related, but this one is not a Brütsch Mopetta. You can try again on this one, but remember that you have wait 24 h from your last egg post for a try on another egg.

12 Spatz 200?

Egg 02 : Brütsch Rolletta ?

[Allemano]

Great puzzle great idea! :thumbsup:

[Wendax]

12 Spatz 200?

Yes, but that is only part of the name. There's a little bit more to the story, too.

[Wendax]

Egg 02 : Brütsch Rolletta ?

No, but you are close. As far as I know there never was a Rolletta. It must have been a typo already appearing in a German car magazine in 1957.

Egg 3 If not Brütsch Zwerg could be one of the first Avolette from Air Tourist.

[Wendax]

Egg 3 If not Brütsch Zwerg could be one of the first Avolette from Air Tourist.

Now you are very close. It is an Avolette from Air Tourist, but the name isn't complete. As you stated correctly, it is one of the first ones. Have a second look.

I've found in a brochure of 1955the name of "Brütsch-Avolette" from Air Tourist

I have good news and bad news for you. The good one first: you are right, the first Avolette by Air Tourist went by the name of Brutsch Avolette (notice the missing dots above the u!). The Brutsch Avolette made its first appearance in 1955 at the Paris Salon de l'Automobile. It was powered by a 175 cc Ydral engine and is characterised by its two flared-in headlights. The picture by the way really shows a car with German registration, so it is probably a Zwerg indeed. But I take it as the one it purports to be. We had the Brutsch Avolette before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=16939.0

The bad news is that you have to wait 24 h from your last post before you can open another egg.

Egg #20 : Brütsch 300 Mk1 ?

Egg #20 : Brütsch 300 Mk1 ?

I won't answer this. Please read the rules at the beginning of this group puzzle, mekubb. You have to wait 24 hours after a post before you can guess on another car. Your last guess was at 05:17:06 AM today on Egg 02. Right now you just can try to get Egg 02 right or wait.

[mekubb]

Ok sorry, I thought I only had to wait 24 h after I had guessed it right (and no. 2 wasn't completely correct). I will wait now or dig further into no. 2

I'm sorry to say that Air Tourist has edited a leaflet with the "¨" on Brütsch; it can e seen in a blog hold by Mr. Philippe Devant. I'm not giving the link due to the rules ...

Indeed, it can be seen here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=16939.msg165865#msg165865
So it is a "Brutsch Avolette" as well as a "Brütsch-Avolette"  :D

I've added a few more, so that there are 40 eggs now. I promise not to lay more eggs!
