No misleading here, the puzzle car was built in France.

A French Formula Junior?  Like a Bourgeault? (I think that's French...it sounds French.)  Forget that one, it was built in California.  Like a Sirmac - Renault?

Not Formula Junior, not Sirmac-Renault

Is Lucy O'Reilly Schell (probably a distant...very distant...relative of mine) and/or Ecurie Bleu involved here somehow?

Let's try this again. Matra?

It is a child's car resembling a Matra, but it wasn't built by Matra.

Monomil used to produce miniature racing cars, but for full sized drivers

It's not a Monomil, but the builder's name starts with Mo...

Wasn't that Frodo's destination in Middle-Earth?
No hobbit connection, although it is for small people.  :D

Mortarini?

Post by: Wendax on April 08, 2013, 02:38:11 PM
Yes, it is the Mini Matra S.C.A.F. which is the abbreviation for Société de Construction des Automobiles Francis Mortarini. This 5/6th scale reproduction of the Matra from 1968 was powered by a 100 cc ILO engine.

Two points for you.
