No, and younger

Spijkstall, about 1979?

Wendax · August 30, 2013, 05:07:39 PM

Not Spijkstaal, and older

1970 Gazelle?

Wendax · August 31, 2013, 12:34:25 AM

The year is correct (as far as I know), but it is not a Gazelle.

I have run out of potential Dutch automobile manufacturers for the correct time period, although I expect that this one was (or is) obscure. Was this puzzle car produced by a manufacturer primarily known for a product other than automobiles/trucks, like a motorcycle maker, body shop, or perhaps a manufacturer of golf carts?

Does the description mention that this is a scootmobiel?

Wendax · September 01, 2013, 03:24:22 PM

As far as I know this is a typical product of this maker, and we had the company mentioned at AP before.

4popoid · September 01, 2013, 08:07:43 PM

Is the manufacturer still in business?

Wendax · September 02, 2013, 02:37:56 AM

No

Cock?

Yes, locked for you to find the details

I can't find any photographic proof, but the puzzle car fits the following description:

"Cock returned to the 1970 RAI with a 3-wheeled city car, equipped with a 50 cc Sachs 2-stroke engine that powered the rear wheels through a chain transmission. The length of the car was 2,07 m, the width 1,20 m and the height 1,55 m. There were 2 seats that turned in the direction of the door opening for better accessibility. Idea was to deliver the car with automatic clutch (they probably mean gearbox) and with 3 gears (probably manual), that can reach a maximum speed of respectively 25 and 35 km/h. Also an electric variant would be produced. If the city car, baptised Cockpit-70, proves to be successful, the possibility exists to build in a more powerful engine that makes a top speed of 50 km/h possible. Due to the limited market, the car never got past the prototype phase."

Too late..

Well done, 75America, it is the Cock Cockpit 70 prototype. Point for you.

Bad luck, Pal.
