What car is this?  Include make and model.

There will be no LOCKs in this batch of puzzles, so guess carefully.

Quadix Buggy 800.

This one is a German-imported version. Original manufacturer is China Xingyue Group.

Like many vehicles from China, this one has different names, in different markets.

Not Quadix Buggy 800 (none of these names are what I am looking for).

 :doh:

Looks like this one is also imported to the USA by the company named "Oreion Motors". They sell it under the name "Reeper".

However, the correct answer, IMHO, should be Xingyue 800cc 4X4 UTV [XYUTV800(4WD)] - an original make & model name by original maker.

It can have 3-5 different names by different distributors, but basically it is one and the same car.

One point for Arunas, for providing the correct answer.

In America, this is a dangerous class of vehicle.  In theory, they provide a governor on the engine so they cannot exceed 30 MPH.  Because of that, they don't need to meet any emission or safety standards.

Quality standards too, I suppose 8)

The puzzle picture doesn't have a badge in the centre of the radiator.  Has it been removed by the vendor or obscured for the puzzle?

I didn't notice that, until you mentioned it.

I didn't obscure the badges of the puzzle image.  The only alteration I included, was to crop the image to "atvriders.com" was not showing at the top.

I checked, several other images of the Reeper from that time, are also missing badges.  Oreion Motors web site does include a brand badge now, in the grill and on the rims.

By any means they will not obscure a fact that it is "Made in China" ;)
