Title: Solved TGF-211: F.N. Tricar T-3 (or T-8), 1947
Post by: targhediferro on October 01, 2013, 10:42:51 AM
Make, model and year are requested for a point.  I hope it is not a repost ( I haven't found it)

That's right. I have a model description (I suppose the power). Locked for you.

Actually the model designations were two, one for the short chassis, the other one for longer one.

M 12?
By the way, it's a repost...

Not M12...I know it is a repost because Wendax sent me a PM...I did not fount it because I searched for F.N. instead of FN.  Now I told Wendax that I found unfair to remove the quiz after you had given the correct answer, but if you can't find the correct model name I will have to remove it.

I spent ages on this apparently easy puzzle..I found the same picture you used but  no mention of a model name.
Only thing I have read is that it was based on the military tricar. I will try T3. If it's wrong you can unlock/ delete.

It is right or so I may presume. Actually there where two model, T3 (short chassis) and T8 (long chassis).  As it is impossible to understand which the pictured one is, I'll get if as correctly solved.
A point for you.
Now the puzzle may be merged.

This clearly is a short chassis. It is actually shown in Brussels in Autoworld.

I think the T3 and T8 are motorcycle based vehicles, after some research. If only as this vehicle is from 1947 and the T3 and T8 was made up to 1940.
